SONY DRU-500A DVD+-RW/DVD+-R Drive Review | |
|

Fortunately, the war of formats between DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW has actually finished thanks to the new DVD-Dual format which put an end to the disputes which one is better. This format combines recording capabilities of both DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW in one device. All main competitors from the camps of DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW promised to back the new standard. Pioneer, Sanyo and Hitachi, and a bit later Ricoh and Philips will produce pickups for the DVD-Dual. So, the only thing for users to choose will be a media type - the war of formats is over, but the war of discs is probably just starting :). But this seems to be more convenient for a user. It's simpler to buy a disc and record it on the DVD-Dual than to choose between the drives which are much more expensive. The first drive of the new format on the market is one from SONY, DRU-500A, and we will test it today. | ||
