There are so many DVD types, its almost like a mathematical alphabet soup. One is a + the other is a -, one is a R the other is a RW, one is called "video", the other is a VR. With each of these types comes certain types of "challenges". For instance, some automatically finalize the burn, others do not (which accounts for why some of you have had different experiences). Some allow a finalized disk to play on all equipment, some will only allow on DVD players and not in computers. It was recently suggested to me (thanks Michael) that the best, and least problematic, type is a -R. Apparently, -R DVD have the fewest problems, such as the ones illustrated above - and they also have the added benefit of having the fewest letters to remember. :-) Other formats CAN be used, and I'd suggest you consult page 88 in the Sony manual, which is located in the brochure rack on the wall by the door, before completing the burn.

PRINTING Printing is possible from all three computers. Each print job goes to a print server and is displayed on a touch screen near the printers. Printing is the only "pay for" service in the Faculty Resource Room and is structured simply to recover costs. Print cards are available through AJ Kelton. = = ==**__[|HP Color Laserjet 3800DTN] __** == Cost: $0.25 per click. A "click" mean each time the paper passes through the printer. So, a one page, one side print cost $0.25. A one page, two-side print cost $0.50.
