It difficult to tell which way the market will go. However, the vast majority of the newer DVD players will happily play both formats, even when they only advertise one of them. Strange, isn't? On the side of the old-ish players, DVD-R has slightly bigger chances to play without problems. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
