This is also wrong:
DVD+RW use 817.4 kHz in the pregrove and periodically inverts the phase as
sector start marker. This is cheaper to press (as the stamper will last for
more
press cycles) but it is not as accurate as DVD-RW and you get floating bader
quality during the life cycle of the stamper.
DVD-RW uses 140.6 kHz in the pregrove and in addition lans pits between the
groves to mark the sector start, This is much more precise than what DVD+RW
uses. Since aproc. 4 years, there is a new patented stamper method that uses
dints in the pregrove instead of pits on top of the land. This is as precise as
the pit on land method, compatoble to this method and allows stampers that are
as cheap as the DVD+RW stampers. There is no degradaraion of the stamper
accuracy as with DVD+RW, even with the new modified version.
