Marc, While I thank you for the website, the confusion between JimB and myself had little or nothing to do with the differences between the different formats of DVD recordable media. I was questioning his references to "recording in -R mode" versus "recording in -RW mode." I believe he was refering to the method of recording with -R mode meaning using the data copy mode (of Nero, for example) that creates a data DVD or CD versus the use of packet writing mode to create a floppy like DVD or CD. By the way, he was using the terminology for both CD and DVD, which is another reason I don't believe he was refering to the type of media in use.
