hi, im planning to pick up another dvd burner for my new pc and i was wonder which one is more compatible w/ dvd players. i dont want to spend money to get a multi format one when only one format is commonly used and the other is not.

i have to say that i havent noticed a compatibility issue with either. i think it depends on the player. me and a friend burn movies on a multi format TDK and have used both + and -, and results are pretty much the same ,as far as i can tell. you prolly should get a multi format tho, just in case. :)

but teh multi format is $40 more :( .
i think dvd+r/rw is most widely used, notto sure though

I think that cd+r will win out in the end since it has more features (and is likely to have 2-layer earlier), but at the moment the media is more expensive compared to cd-r.
I would go for a dual format drive at the moment, but buy dvd-r media until there is some indication of which way the manufacturers are going to go. More stand alone dvd players support dvd-r than dvd+r, but the difference is small and most support both formats.

What 2 burners are you comparing? I'm sure it's not a $40 difference for every make.

Total and absolute bullshit (or should I say mooseshit?).
There may be a few early models which won't burn cd's, but I've never seen one.

I don't think anyone wants to start a flame war, it's just that you are totally wrong.
It's quite simple, if you don't know what you are talking about, STFU.
