Questions regarding discs

glicky

Hi

I'm a technophobe, so will be asking a lot of questions in this post about recording onto discs.

I have a Daewoo DF-4100P/4150P/8100P/8150P DVD Recorder + VCR (I don't have all of them, just one, but don't know which one, this is what it says on the front of the User Manual) :rotfl:. I did warn you I was a technophobe!:D

Anyway, I want to get rid of my video's and transfer them onto DVD's. I want to put a few programmes (mainly tennis matches) onto one DVD (not just one programme on one DVD).

1. Which is the cheapest and best value for money disc?
2. Do I buy DVD+R, DVD+RW? I don't know the difference between any of them
3. Is it like a video where you press the LP or SP button to get the maximum capacity out of your disc?
4. Are there different discs that have more capacity than others.

Your help would be appreciated, plus anymore information that you think I may need that you think, in your opinion, I have not asked.

Thank you very much :beer:

unfortunately it doesn't say how much or how long the discs are i.e. with videos you know that E180 is 3 hours SP and 6 hours LP. Any ideas about discs please?

It tells you in the 'video file comparison' table at the bottom of the page. Look under dvd & hours/dvd.
You will be able to create a dvd upto 5 or 6 hours in length but, obviously to do that the quality will deteriote. It is a bit more complicated than pressing a sp/lp button though and you should really read up as much as you can at the vcdhelp site.
