In other words single >DVD+R recording mode is more than enough. A. Please don't repeat unproven statements. We did already discuss this and you never have been able to prove your claims. In order to make a recording that is as good as a real SAO recording (as you may have it e.g. with DVD-R) you need to be more acurate than the size of a single bit. I am sure that both, DVD+R and DVD-R are no better than approx. one byte. BTW: High frequency ADIP is not a grant for high positioning accuracy. Left alone, it would be much worse than the ADIP + Prepits in DVD-*. Only the fact that DVD+ uses phase shifts (as marks similar to the pre-pits) makes DVD+ usable....
