DVD-R or DVD+R

I know that DVD-R is the format of choice for Xbox purposes - does DVD+R work as well?:confused:

yes. DVD+R is compatible with more hardware than DVD-R but the media is more expensive

sorry to belabour the point but does DVD+R work specifically with Xbox homebrew or other stuff;)

I've been using my Ricoh DVD+R/RW drive to backup games/movies and to burn homebrew and game compilations. I've had no problems at all. Works great with the xbox.

DVD+RW is particularly useful when burning game compilations. I'm able to quickly burn up a disk at 2.4x speed, try it out burn again until I'm happy with the disc, before commiting to DVD+R. I hear the Pioneer A04/104 only writes DVD-RW at 1x?

I have used

DVD+RW media

Verbatim
Memorex

DVD+R media

Memorex

With no problems and no Mod Chip.

XBOX loves +r +rw media

It is the one to get and it is faster.

faster at wot m8, is it faster loading the game or writing the disc

Writing the Disk.... I have not tried games yet.

,,.

A local shop to me is taking pre orders for it at £233 inc which I think is very reasonable as the A04 is only just sub £200.

They are very good and pretty cheap for most things - check out the Lite-on 40x

Ideal for me as no P&P charges. :D

What does this not do (Sony DVD-RW/+RW Dual Format DRU500A)

Will it backup all regions of films (incl. 5.1) and my Xbox games?
