DVD-R

Fri Jan 9, 2004 11:11:46 PM #644 Perm Link

Who actually uses? I've been considering buying the drive for it, but is it really worth it?
Hmm.
I suppose for people who download DVD-RIPS through the internet, but other than that I see no other practical use for it. Unless you make back up copies of your current DVDs. So thoughts, comments, suggestions?

But if you get the DVDs, why would you need the drive? Just to make copies?

I have a DVD-R, and I don't really use it very often. My friend gave me some Naruto episodes (an Animé), but a DVD-R wasn't required. Basically, if you have a DVD player or a PS2 or an XBox with a remote, you don't need this. As far as I know (which isn't too terribly far), it doesn't do anything other than play DVDs (and do everything a CD-R did)

ahhh but it can copy DVD's like a cdr copies cd's. It's a whole different ballgame.

I don't think a DVD-R can burn the other formats (regular cd's) because it's a different laser used to read the disc.

Yeah, as far as I know you need two seperate drives to do that. Which is fine, but I'm just wondering if it's really worth it.

if you burn a lot of movies, then yes. If the contrary, then no.

That's what i've gathered so far.

You CAN burn DVD movies to multiple CD-Rs, i have a few right here. It just takes longer...and requires more steps then just copy.

I have two +RW drives and use them daily for backups of my hard drives.

On one DVD I can hold many images of my computers' hard drives. And then all I need to do is pop the disk in and get the right image and there ya go.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Yes, it does. Pieces of hardware tend to get price tags on them, I'm not sure why, though.
