CD/DVD Burning 101: Which type is the best?
Jake Bechtold | September 4, 2008
One of the most common questions I get is about CD/DVD formats and which one is right for that application. Today, I’m tackling this question once and for all.
While buying blank media last week, I noticed that back of the box had a handy little chart.
The big thing to take out of here is that CD-RW’s are great for transferring data, but they will not work in most CD players, making them a no-so-good choice for making audio CDs.
Okay, this is a little more confusing. The thing to keep in mind here is what your burner can handle and what your players will read. If you burner only does DVD-RW and your player only reads DVD-RW, then obviously you need DVD-RW discs. You’ll just have to see what your devices can handle.
Hope that demystifies things for you!
