Now it depends on how much it was used in the last 18 years. (My oldest burner is from 2008 and lives on a strict diet of BD-RW.) > Profile : 0x001B (DVD+R) > Profile : 0x001A (DVD+RW) > Profile : 0x0014 (DVD-RW sequential recording) > Profile : 0x0013 (DVD-RW restricted overwrite) > Profile : 0x0011 (DVD-R sequential recording) It will be interesting to learn which of the commercially available media are still willing to work. My best bet is DVD+RW because those did not gain any speed since they were introduced. I see in https://www.amazon.de/Plextor-PX-708A-DVD-Brenner-8x4x12x-4x2x12x/dp/B0000ALX3E "DVD + R with up to 8 speed, DVD-R with 4x speed" which both is lower than the usual nominal speeds of the currently available DVD+R and DVD-R (usually "16x" = ~ 22 MB/s). So there might arise problems with possibly new-fangled chemistry between the plastic layers. Have a nice day :) Thomas
