Default DVD+RW


What is the most reliable mfg?

Do +RW require erasing or re-formatting before reuse?

Do +RW disks essentially self-finalize?

Thanks. I was double checking some misleading "rumors!"

They have to be formated the 1st time you use them.
You can either erase or re-format them after that.

They do not have to be finalized. However, some
standalone players will only play the first title,
rather that the whole disc. Finalizing creates
a menu and turns the disc into a standard one.

Ah, this may explain why some PEG stations have
trouble with their automation controls
"playing" a DVD+RW and the whole disk fails to play.
