What do you mean by this incompatiblity due to different components?
I've heard (here at the forums) that 16x RAM won't be compatible with 5x RAM, but now you say that there would be different 16x RAM types? It seems weird!

As I quoted at the beginnig of this thread: "16x recording speed for DVD-RAM has not yet been included in the DVD Forum's standards, it is expected to be certified very soon." - so after the certification there should be only one 16x standard, that doesn't depend on specific manufacturers components!

Maybe you mean that are two propositions for 16x RAM, different from each other, and incompatible, and only one will prevail - and will become the DVD Forum's certified standard?
