    I agree. The link was not posted to create a flame war, it was created for you to read for pure entertainment.

    That thread is a mess, but if Apple really is using DVD-multi, then why aren't they fully implementing it? DVD-RAM is very cool, the best of the DVD-recordable formats IMHO, and the 4.7GB type-2 disc work like a charm in your DVD player. A wide implementation of DVD-Multi would kill DVD+R/rw good and dead in a hurry.



    Some things I've picked up: The DVD-forum has set a DVD-Multi spec (DVD-R/RW/RAM) and most new DVD-forum compliant drives will adhere to that spec. However, untill recently, and including just about every DVD drive on the market, the DVD-forum members were producing either DVD-r/rw (like pioneer) or DVD-RAM/R (like panasonic) -- this is to say nothing of those bastard format DVD-alliance nitwits with their +R/+RW. Just within the DVD forum there was a little disconnect regarding the re-writeable standard (untill recently).



    I can only think that Apple is purposely pushing only the DVD-R portion of the spec because they cannot yet get DVD-multi drives for all their models and that once they can/do (when the standard gets into full swing) they will open up that functionality for the computers that support it and all future DVD-forum compliant machines that will support it by default.



    (though not really, in that other parts of the OS seem to suppert -RW, if not iDVD) For now, DVD-R only, if only to avoid complaints by some owners that their iMac or PM doesn't do DVD-RAM or mebbe their Ti doesn't support RW (iDunno, just fleshing out the example here) I think they'll all be DVD-multi as soon as those drives are widely available.



    I hope it's soon, I won't touch another DVD writer untill it's at least 4X and Multi, too bad too, 'cause iDVD looks very very nice.



    Anyone care to venture some more info, corrections , etc etc... ??
