DVD Burning Attempts
0 for 2 on creating DVD-Rs using the Veritas software, but 3 for 3 on writing to DVD-RWs as DVD-Rs using the Veritas software. However, it takes 55 minutes to write a 4Gb DVD-RW in DVD-R mode, while the DVD-Rs were writing in about 20-25 minutes (estimated). Tried 2 different types of DVD-R media (Maxell's orange label and Verbatim's DataLifePlus - both of which are 2x DVD-Rs), but have not tried scaling back the recording speed.
At the moment, DVD-RW media is pretty much the same price as DVD-R, so it's not a big deal to record using the DVD-RW media (plus, if I get a coaster on one attempt, I can turn around and re-burn it). Plus, the DVD-RWs are readable in my other 2 DVD drives here, so compatibility is fine.
