Pretty silly comment.
Not silly at all for those who bought 1st Gen DVD+RW drives back in 2001
with the promise of DVD+R compatibility.
As I said, Sony/Philips has falsely advertised again and again and again
- all the way back to the old 3GB Japan-only DVD-R+W.
I don't see how people can defend them.
The only thing I can think of is that people often confuse DVD-R(G)
standards from the DVD Consortium with their CSS and Video standards.
Two whole different ballgames.
It just means that by about 2004 +R technology had
matured to a point where compatibility issues dropped to about the same
levels as those of -R.
No.
It meant by 2004 consumer electronics could handle MO technology more
reliably.
It had *nothing* to do with "maturity" of DVD+R, and everything to do
with consumer devices being able to emulate pie-slice MO as a single
grove like ROM/WORM.
I urge you to read up on the *physical* differences between MO and
ROM/WORM.
A MO pie-slice media must be emulated like a ROM/WORM single-grove by
the end-device.
It's like trying to get an analog record player to play a hard drive.
And that's just the compatibility, not even looking at longevity.
The funny thing is that Matsushita DVD-RAM has had better compatibility
on licensee's drives than Sony/Phlips DVD+RW did in the early years.
And DVD-RAM was never designed for consumer use, but optical archiving.
