If you need your drive for both BD burning and standard DVD and CD burning, keep an eye on those subcategory write speeds. Even if the BD speeds of two drives are the same, you might see some subtle differences in the other specs; for example, one drive might support 4X double-layer DVD+R, and the other might offer 8X double-layer DVD+R. For that matter, you might see some startling similarities–often, that might mean that the two drives you’re comparing are sourced from the same OEM, making them identical in specs, if not in software bundle.

Formats and Speeds Write-once and rewritable DVDs are available in two types: DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW. The formats were created by competing industry groups, and for a while it looked as if many users would have to pick a format and hope their choice wasn’t the loser. But manufacturers have come up with a neat solution: Most DVD writers are now a combination design, offering support for both formats. We don’t have space here to delve into the pros and cons of each, but the short story is that (for video) DVD+R is more compatible with standard DVD players. For additional background, see “Buying DVD Burners Gets Easier” and “Is It Time to Upgrade to Rewritable DVD?”

Prices for DVD media vary considerably, but figure on spending $2 to $4 per disc, depending on the format and whether it’s write-once or rewritable.
