Quick question. I have a G4/1.33 12" with Superdrive. Would it read
DVD+R disks with movies burnt using DVD Recorder connected to TV?
Apple spec'd its drives before + media became popular, or perhaps even
available.
After I replaced my OEM DVD-CD-ROM drive with a generic DVD-CD-ROM-
R-R/W
drive which included two-layer capability, I was surprised that
none of
the Apple products would support + media, so for a while I was stuck
burning two disks: a + one for recorder/player playing, and a - one
for
laptop playing.
Why? - media has wider compatibility with DVD players, too. This is,
in fact WHY Apple went to the - standard in the first place... the +
format doesn't really offer anything; it's just another standard;
it's not faster, disks aren't cheaper, it's not more compatible...it
was just out marginally before the - standard. Most DVD player now
play both formats, but you're going to have better luck playing -
media on older drives.
