HD-DVD.  It will cost less.  Also it will end up being the main format because Microsoft supports it.  Microsoft can easily shut down blu ray by making their software non comptable.

DVD or the regular movie theatre?\n\nLC

Panasonic's a pretty good brand and will record to pretty much all DVD formats. You'll probably get a few blank DVD-RAM discs with the unit.\n\nI would recommend you go for a model with a hard drive as well. They're a little more expensive than those without, but what you would save by not getting a hard drive, you'd end up spending on blank discs in the first 12 to 18 months anyway. Just as long as you don't hoarde stuff on the hard drive, 80Gb should be more than enough.

diff is that dvd-r and dvd+r are formats.. and it's a battle between the two. whoever wins.. right now dvd-r is winning.

Blu-Ray technology vs HD DVD technology. This I think will occur before anything else because we are already at a critical point.\n\nBlu-Ray has some serious capabilities and some serious allies including Sony, Philip and Samsung. HD DVD is backed by Microsoft, Toshiba, and Intel. \n\nBlu-Ray DVD's can hold more than a HD DVD but performance is relatively the same. Have a look at the following sources, there is a storm brewing and someone is going to get burned.

I don't quite understand the question. If you're asking which company I'm most interested in this year, it would have to be Sony. I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of the PS3 and I'm glad they're supporting Blu-Ray technology instead of the less capable HD-DVD.\n\nIf that's not what you're asking, well... be more specific.

The 1-disc version has nothing much, there is a 2-disc version out there, here's a link at my fave dvd-acquiring website, the link will show the items on the 2nd disc.

Buy a Go video VCR/DVD-R component combo. It's easy to use.

Neither.  I either go to the bargain priced movies or wait for DVD.

If you know that you are going to make a dvd recording and won't mess up on it then use the dvd-r because you can only use that disk once. The dvd-rw is a good disk because you can record over it if you decide you don't like what you recorded on that disk. just remember that -r is for recording once, and -rw is for recording over whats on it.

Well, the obvious advantage is capacity. A DVD will hold much more on one disk than a CD.\n\nDisadvantages I can think of to using a DVD is that it may burn slower than a CD depending on your drive. It is also more expensive depending on the brand. Also, pretty much all computers have CD drives, but not all have DVD drives, so a CD is more compatible.\n\nBottom line, if a CD has all the capacity you need, that is probably the best choice. If you need to hold more data on each disk, go with DVD.

You can do it, but it's not worth it. Time consuming and quality reducing.\nQuit being cheap and buy some more DVD-R's.

Current DVD's do not support 720i or 1080i. They are based on MPEG-2, which has a maximum resolution of 640 lines. HD-DVD, one of the upcoming High Definition DVD standards, supports 720i with protected content (HDCP limitation) and 1080i for unprotected content.\n\nThe only standard that natively supports 1080i for all content is Sony's Blu-Ray High Definition DVD standard.\n\nYou can get a DVD player that upsamples your current DVDs to display at 720 and 1080 by rerendering each frame. However, this isn't High Definition.

I guess you want to have your cake and eat it too. Is it that hard to change the DVD? Why not get a DVD player that holds more than one disc? Also, the Pearl Harbor DVDs are already dual layer (I know since I have copied them to single layer discs) and you will have to compress them if you want to take them to one dual layer disc or two single layer discs. Just take the time to change the DVDs, it's easier.

Clone DVD + DVD Region Free. This two softwares do the trick.

Yes, but unless you've got tons of pics, it seems a bit of a waste. DVDs store 4.7GB of data, so a CD-R would be more suitable. Or even better, a CD-RW which can be re-written!
