Ohls Place has posted a review on the Sony DRX500AX DVD-R/+R burner
When writeable CD’s hit the market we were amazed at how much data could fit on one little disc. There were two mainstream formats, CDR and CDRW, each format holding 650 – 800 MB of data. Today we can write to DVD’s that hold 4.7 GB of data, approximately 6-7 full CD’s on one disc. But there’s a catch, instead of two formats which were easily compatible, in the DVD market we have four formats, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW, each of these formats is not fully compatible with the other. Home DVD players must be designed to support the formats. If your DVD burner was a DVD+R, and your home DVD player wasn’t designed to play DVD+R, you were stuck (which is what happened to me with my first DVD burner). Either replace your DVD burner, or your DVD player. I went looking for a solution that would fit all possibilities.Read more
