cost-competitive with DVD-R. There are
also readability issues - not all DVD-RW media
can be read reliably
in older DVD-ROM drives.

Sony DVD+RW = Rs. 75

There are several types of rewritable DVDs, and not
all drives are
compatible with all. DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM seem
to be the most
common ones.

Binand,

Do you mean to say I should not go for DVD RW media
until the dust settles?

In which case this begs the question what is the cost
of DVD R media?

TIA.

regards,
Girish
