There is no 'better' format... you need to find out what your standalone DVD
player supports.. or which format the majority of DVD players that you intend to use the disk on support. www.videohelp.com has a great database for finding out exactly which player supports which format. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging "sanjay" wrote in message ... hi cari, i will be grateful if you could be more specific and elaborate on your answer to my question. your answer is very general in view. thanks sanjay mehta "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: Whichever your standalone DVD player supports best! -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging "sanjay" wrote in message ... hi, As a matter of interest, what format are commercially available DVD's (movies) - DVD +r, DVD -r, DVD-ram (or DVD +rw, DVD-rw, i think not though)?

None of the above. They use a totally different method of producing the
discs to the burning which we as consumers have. As Cari says, the best one for you to use is the one that works in your dvd player, but other things can make a difference, like make of disc, encoder settings, encoder, burner, burning app, whether you stick a label on the disc...... -- Graham Hughes MVP Digital Media www.myvideoproblems.co.uk www.dvds2treasure.com www.simplydv.com "sanjay" wrote in message ... hi, As a matter of interest, what format are commercially available DVD's (movies) - DVD +r, DVD -r, DVD-ram (or DVD +rw, DVD-rw, i think not though)?

Commercial Hollywood movies are in DVD-video format and are replicated,
not duplicated. This means they have 100% compatibility with all DVD players (Google to see the diff between replication/duplication if you are interested). To burn a DVD disc with the highest compatibility with consumer DVD players, you should be using DVD-R. So, go DVD-R and burn only on high quality media. Most people who author seriously tend to use Taiyo Yuden (Fuji), Maxell, Verbatim or Ritek discs. Note though, even DVD-R, unlike replicated Hollywood DVD's, is not 100% compatible, there's no guarantee your DVD-R will play on every single player (but it should play on most). Hope this helps.
