ok, i got my writer. so, let me verify. what is a good media to get? the dvd -'s or the dvd +'s? in other words. what media is preferred by most dvd-roms and home dvd players? and if someone knows what does the ps2 and/or xbox prefer? i was gonna get me a pack at fry's yesterday, but the media is still pricey. so, i wanna make sure i get the right disks on the first try. thx fellas!

Once they are burnt, most dvd-rom drives and home dvd players can't tell the difference between + and - media. It is usually a case that they will either play dvdr or not.
It is more important to get media which is compatible with your burner. This should give you information on what's compatible, which drive did you end up getting? For PS2 or XBox look for ones that say Console reliability is good.

i ended up getting this one. haven't tried it out yet cuz am researching what type of media i should purchase. according to that chart you posted. the memorex dvd-r's play good on everything. so, i guess i will try those. unless, someone has good reason not to. thx.

One of the memorex options is good all round, the other only mixed, make sure you get the right one if you go for those.
But Memorex are likely to be expensive, Princo (who actually produce many of the CD and DVD dyes) are usually good all round and are relatively cheap, though you will probably have to get them mail order.

lol, thx, but i don't really think i will be purchasing dvd's thru the mail. anywho, i like going to frys and spending money i don't have. sure, i don't want to spend an arm and a leg, but maybe the memorex will do. the memorex is 25 pack for $40 and a 50 pack for $70! jeez, so expensive. but is ok i'm sure. once i get into the backing up and burning what needs to be done. thx!
