CD Vs DVD

[islamis4u]

I would like to ask which type of disc you mostly use not prefer, if prefer then why?

 

[Dazz]

Well thats not really much of a poll is it? Which do you mostly use would kind of depend on if you have a CD writer or a DVD writer, obviously you are going to go with the greater capacity.
I somewhat obviously use more DVD's than CD's because of this and I can back up much more information on them LOL

 

[Jesse]

It Depends.

 

[GG-Xtreme]

I use CD's for music and data (because my attempts to burn Data DVD's with any software all failed) and DVD's for...well...movies.

 

[GamingX]

I mainly use DVD's now. All my data and stuff go into the DVD.

 

[Swiblet]

I really use my external hard drive for storage and backups, but I also use DVDs for movies, which I have alot of. So....DVDs for me =)

[anubhavjais7]

[Madrox]

In general i use CD...
but i use DVD in certainly conditions...
CD forever!

 

[satbir]

I use DVD when I need to certainly have to transfer data while I am not carrying my laptop else external hard disk and my laptop work for me.

 

[dr.scoo]

every type hae it's usage.
there is no sense to copy 200MB on a DVD. One should copy it on a CD.

I don't really use CDs any more, as I download all of the music I want to listen to from Napster, and I use my PSP as an MP3 player for them. I still use CDs for some old Windows 98/95 games I have, but I mainly use DVDs now because all of the games I buy are on DVD-ROM, and I can use DVDs to store up to 9gigs on a dual-layer disk and I watch movies on DVDs.

CDs for car stereo, DVDs for movies, CDs for small files, DVDs for large files (and the +/- RW variety), memory stick or external HDD for anything temporary.

If you put an option for that in the poll, I'll vote!

 

[Gouri]

I will use DVD if the data is more than a CD. otherwise CD

 

[Jigzo]

i use dvd i prefer it more than cd as the write speed is quicker and you can put more on it

 

[sandogg]

Still use CDs a lot more.
The faster write speeds and for data up to 700mb.
DVDs only for movies or some backup.

 

[Sharky]

The "benchmark" (ie 1x as opposed to 52x etc) for DVDs is faster than CDs, so a 16x DVD is many many times faster than 16x CD.

 

[islamis4u]

i really use more cause its very much cheaper and n easily all the software are available on cds rather then dvds

 

[nat1192]

DVD simply because most disc images I find now (shhh, they are pirated) are bigger than a regular cd, and usually only marginally. Borland 2007 disc is 800mb, which is annoying. That and with any good linux distro, the DVD version includes more packages which makes installing a lot easier (when it comes to obscure drivers etc.)

 

[Sohail]

Well obviously the DVD as it has way more space than a CD, ok it may be a little more expensive but it sure is worth it.

 

[fitzysit]

it depends what i am gonna burn
it the file is above 600 megs i will use a DVD and if not i will use a normal cd
