synflood Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 The PS2 will only play DVDs, not DVD-R or DVD+R I'm kinda confused about your statment, PS2's can play a DVD-R , DVD+R & DVD+-RW media! So what did you mean by only playing DVD's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

project51 Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 If both system support the +R or -R... choose the +R since it will last longer than the -R... that's the difference between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synflood Posted January 16, 2006 CID Share Posted January 16, 2006 If both system support the +R or -R... choose the +R since it will last longer than the -R... that's the difference between them I have read numerous articles on DVD media and I have never seen anywhere that a +R lasts longer then a -R media! The difference between the two are that DVD plus is mainly backed by Philips, HP and Dell. DVD minus is mainly backed by Pioneer, Toshiba and Apple.

I google the difference between +R and -R, i came to conclution that +R can attain faster speed and more reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGOKURULES Posted January 16, 2006 CID Share Posted January 16, 2006 I believe it was a way for the "Disk maker Industry" to make more money by establisdhing a standard that went down the drain when more companies came abroad and made there own meda types,,, and the third party companies like LG, HP, Maxtor, Pioneer took both - and + and allowed the use of both,, THERE IS NOOOO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO!!!!

resopalrabotnick Posted January 16, 2006 CID Share Posted January 16, 2006 there are subtle differences between the two. it's betamax and vhs all over again. except that the differences in dvd's are less extreme and you can build drives that can read/write both. the groups of manufacturers that combined to form the plus and minus parties tried to gain an advantage in the market early on.

resopalrabotnick Posted January 16, 2006 CID Share Posted January 16, 2006 if you insist on buying both formats when they both come out... fine... but why take away the consumers right to choose between two formats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted January 17, 2006 CID Share Posted January 17, 2006 Oddly enough, a few people missed the post after in which I admitting to being lazy about the thread. I was also thinking about VCD, SVCD, and KVCD formats instead of DVD, my bad. DVD-R versus DVD+R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
