Hi,
Anyone have a recomendation of the best DVD burner for DVD player compatability. My DVD player won't play the VCD's I have been burning so time to get a DVD burner.
The problem is DVD's are stored in UDF format, The Amiga can read them using Allegro or directly by the DVD player (Amp) but there is not a UDF system which supports writing to the disc :-(
PS: If your DVD player supports DVD RAM thats the most compatiable standard (It acts just like a harddrive, You can boot off it, drag and drop files to it, etc, etc) however most DVD players dont support DVD RAM discs :-(
As for DVDR's, Sorry, pass, Im not that loaded ;-)
What? DVD RAM is not even DVD... Don't be confused by the name... It was a stupid attempt by Panasonic to control the market and I'm glad is dead... No DVD player in the world would read a DVD RAM... Physically it can't...
The question now is what standard will win. DVD-R/W supported by Pioneer and Apple or DVD+R/W supported by HP, Philips, Microsoft !!!
Regarding the question, why not buy the latest drive from Sony, I don't know the model but it writes and reads both standards.
As for the player, the ones built in the last year or so won't have a problem to read it...
