I have never backed up one of my dvd's before but I am reading up on it and am curious to see which type of dvd I should use.

I believe the options are these:

DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW and DVD+R

What do you suggest? Whats the difference?
Thanks
Jason

How do you find using the 300n and what software do you use to make your copies.

I have a HP 300n. It works great for
me. The programs I've used so far:

dvd shrink with DVD Decrypter (both free)
Nero recode 2 with DVD43
Intervideo dvdcopy2 with dvd decrypter

The media I use is Ritek Ridata 4X DVD+R

I recomend you get a few +RW discs to practice
on until you get the hang of it.

Zero coasters so far that were not my fault. :)

I love my PH 300 I got it mine for $80 it only 4x burning but for the price and its a HP it works great. I use Ritek/Ridata G04 the last 150 burns I have only had 4 coasters and they where my fault. I use clonedvd2 by Elby with Anydvd most of the time but you have to pay for them you can get a trial. If your looking for free I would go with the Shrink and DVD decrypter they are free and your not going to get better PIC & AUDIO from any other free programs. Most programs that you $$ for will not even come close to shrink and decrypter If you need a guide for Shrink/decrypter I would Look for ScubaPete's guide for burning with Shrink/Decrypter you will find it in the search its the best guide out there. I would listen to h-k about the RW's you should get a few of them you don't want to compress a dvd under 50% it might not come out right You want to make sure that when the compression is that much that the video is ok and if your not using a RW your going to wast a DVD. I only use the RW when the compression is that much any time its under 50 % use a RW. I'm not joking when I say this get your self some good media (blank DVD).Take it easy and good luck burning.
