Is it possible
to have a burner that can burn only one kind of media (ex. DVD+r or DVD-r)and also will only playback that same type of media?
I have a DVD+r burner and can playback both. I was trying to arrange a trade with someone who had a DVD-r burner, but wanted only DVD-r media in return. He said that is the only type he can playback. Just wondering. Pardon my ignorance

Re: Is it possible
Yes, though most burners made right now support both for writing and reading, there are models out there that have all combinations of read/write functionality for + and - R discs. So yes, what he's saying make perfect sense.

Re: Is it possible
When I was running OS 10.2 (mac), I could only read DVD-R and only burn DVD-R. Now that I've upgraded to OS 10.3 (same machine, just upgraded OS), I can now read DVD+R and DVD-R, but can still only burn DVD-R.

Re: Is it possible
the format he wishes might have to do with the burner OR he could have a player that only plays one format too
and as stated yes burners will sometimes only burn one format the most common "new" ones are HP, + No members have liked this post.

Re: Is it possible
Recently looked at a $66 Lite-on that burns dual layer,does 16x DVD+,burns 48x CD burns ALL formats,+ - R Rw....everything but toast an English muffin. So with a maximum tech burner relatively cheap,a first generation one format rig is worth what? $15? As to Mac..can you still get them in the jellybean colors? I liked that part
