The write quality looks good but I think compatibility is probably more important.
hi,

100% agree - the very bad standalone compatibility will be no help for making this and the other -R DUAL media very popular . Maby there will be some cheap noname players in the near future but most/many/all ?? players older then lets say 6 months to a year (without firmware upgradebility) will fail. And with the start of Blue Ray Disks and HD-DVD the DVDR market will probably vanish slowley.
