Dvd-r or dvd+r

[masterg]

I have bougth a couble of different media. I´m wondering which are the best for ps2 use. The medias are:
Princo dvd-r
DiscPower dvd-r
Verbatim dvd+r

Can I use verbatim dvd+r or can the ps2 only play dvd-r dics?



My burner is Sony DRU500A
My ps2 have the Messiah modchip

[bighap]

What version ps2 do you have?

[masterg]

I have the R4 model.

[dusted]

stick with -r
however since you've got a disc and a capable burner u may as well give +r a shot

try on rw first if u don't want to waste a disc

[bighap]

+r probably won't work because of having a v4. +r usually only works on v5-v7.

[knotsville]

will dvd+r/w work on ALL V5's??

if sumone can confirm this, then ill definently go for the Sony dru500a rather than the Pioneer A05 which is what i was origionally going to do :D

[bighap]

Yes it should. The v4 was the last of the bad lasers.

[knotsville]

yay team :D

thanks a heap man

does burning to DVD+R have any advantages to DVD-R??
easier to read? cheaper? or what ever?

thanks again

[bighap]

Not really for PS2 but it is all Xbox reads.

thanks a heap man

No prob. Good luck and enjoy your DRU500A.;)
