That should make all the difference. having a DVD-R drive at home, and a DVD+R drive at work, i have accidentally used the wrong media in the wrong drive-it always throws me for a loop =) though the sales rep for the machine i use at work (its a FDA registered "medical device") told me that they have had hardware failures reported when users tried to use DVD-R disks in the DVD+R drives... have never had this happen to me though... also, either media seems to play in either drive as long as the session/disk was closed during the writing procedure. (many problems with Adaptec's DirectCD/DVD not closing sessions even when you tell it to-this results in an unreadable disk on any other system. hope all works well with the new media! sandor On Jan 13, 2004, at 9:42 PM, C.
