Hi, I just wanted to know a couple of things about dvd ram discs.
-Are there differnt types of dvd ram discs? If so how do they differ? And will all of them work on dvd ram drive that came with my 500 mhz g4?
-If I want to burn stuff onto a disc, do i just drag stuff onto the disc, or do i need to use a program like toast ?
-In your opinion what do u think the best size and brand disc is?

Thanx 4 reading this

Yes there are different disks. Single and two sided. 2.6, 5.2. 4.7 and 9.4 Gb are the various sizes supported depending on density and number of sides. Basic use is just drag and drop, but you don't get any bells or whistles that way and some folks have had a little difficulty with the machine properly recognizing the media. Search the forums for more on that. I don't have any particular preferences, but think I will stay away from the suspicious looking $9.99 2.6gb disks I saw at Fry's.
