Aren't there two competing standards for recordable CDs? Some units
support both. There is no clear 'winner' at this time. What are these
standards, you ask, as you well may? My info ends at this point. We were
looking into DVDs as a backup medium and decided against them. Not just
because if the 'wide choice of standards', but because they are really not
more convenient than, say, removable disks, or firewire disks. But that is
another issue.
