Any good links on what all the versions mean and how compatible they are with each other and which ones play on a regular video DVD? I found some links last night but would like more information as the links I found were not unbiased.I do not have any real good links right now, but I think I found a good comparison on one of the pages you find lokking for dvd and linux.
Here is my honest opinion:
-R is closer to DVD-ROM and therefore very compatible to DVD players. Though there are some players (and a bios update for others) that allow you to let your +R media imitate -ROM.
+R is getting more important with DVD recorders as it seems to be better for appending data to a disk. Seems to me that it is the better media for PC use, too.
-RAM is incompatible to -ROM but is the best choice for UDF as it allows the most writes of all the rewritable media formats. Unfortunately the media is really expensive.

Hello all,
I am going to get a DVD writer one of the next days. It will be an LG 4081B supporting DVD+-R and RAM. Now I am thinking about the software.
Does it make sense to install dvd+rw-tools and dvdtools?
Any other recomendations (except updating k3b)?
Thanks
Christian
