Hi Roger,
The DVD market is a veritable minefield.
If you look at the DELL specs for Ali's drive, it states
that you can only record DVD+R and DVD +RW, yet it will read
and play what appears to be just about everything else.

pecs.htm
On the other hand, the Philips LiteScribe SPD6001BD/00
claims to write to -R and -RW as well.
That said, 3 out of 5 of Philips own brand DVD-RW failed to
write on my Litescribe, which is a real pain when you need
to write a 3 GIG Vista image.
George.

Hi George
But isn't the R- and R+ divided between Phillips and Sony
which means the
Phillips machine will only play one of the 2 types just as
Ali's NEC burner
does now?
Roger
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
