CD/DVD Which is best?
Discussion
Havn't much experience with computers now thinking of copying pictures downloading music etc. The system i have Sony Vaio has a DVD drive which plays CD as well. If i want to play music in the car i assume it has to be CD but is DVD better for photos ? What is going on with the - + DVD. Just been looking in the shop, now I'm confused.
I've always bought the cheapest of cheap CDs for photo's and never had a problem and that's goes for anything I have put on them, DVDs seem to be a different matter though, some seem better than others, I had some problems with DVD+ and DVD- so I then used DVDrw+ and had no problems, check what your DVD re-writer can use then you wil know what you can choose from.
I use this website as a resource often, it will tell who makes good media and what media is compatable with which burners, recorders and players:

I've found Verbatim DVD and CD media to be excellent, it is reasonably priced and seems to work with the majority of burners, players, Etc.

The simple rule of thimb is - if the files are over 700mb - use a Doovde, if they are under 700mb then use a cdr.
