Default What size DVDs will my CDROM cope with?

Brian Gaff wrote

DVDs are a little bit of a black art due to so many sorts and methods of
writing to them. You need it seems to get the type the drive likes


Depends on the drive. The best of them are happy with most blanks.

or they either won't work at all or just give a lower capacity.


Why did they make this so hellishly complicated, I wonder?


Basically its harder to do right than with most technology.
