Which DVD burner is the most compatible with DVD players?

I want to use DVD as a medium for delivering computer animations to
the general public, and want to buy a burner that will produce the
most compatible dvd's for public consumption. Especially since the
host players will be of every make and variety.

Thanks for any and all help.

If you want 100% compatibility, and are going to make over
100 copies, then DVD replication in an actual pressing plant
would be the best answer. Check the site below:

Note that I have no idea if the link is to a reputable dealer
or if their prices are competitive. I jus ticked it because
it was the first to come up in a search that had price quotes.

I don't think its a matter of which burner, rather a mater of which format.

That study shows that the minus R format is compatible with almost 97
percent of DVD players whilst the plus R format is compatible with just over
87 percent of players.

Actually the deciding factor in the end is the DVD player. If the user has a
piece of crap player, it won't play -R or +R either one. The formats are
both about the same, the most important part of the equation is the DVD
player.

Bullshit.

For the record, "DVD-R" is by no means "DVD minus R" -- you ignorant
****s just pronounce it that way because your brain is stuck in
remedial math dealing with "pluses" and "minuses". DVD-R is simply
that, "DVDR". DVD+R is "DVD plus R", but the whole reason for the
"plus" is that it's not the official DVD-R format.

Why don't you ask in one of the burning groups, where the question
is actually on topic, and appropriate, which it is not here.

Or you might want to keep an eye on the new Plextor.

A DVD recordable question is "off topic" in a DVD newsgroup?

Yes. Those discussions are better taken to alt.video.dvdr don't you think?

Why? The FAQ for DVD contains lots of discussion on DVD Recordable.

This newsgroups isn't called DVDsoftware... DVDhardware. It's
alt.video.dvd
