I would say you're correct Don. Both Audio and Video can be stored on the same CD-RW. I have to direct my next post to Del... he got me started on something. Walt

Don, Yes, they are the same disk. I have not heard confirmation that we are receiving royalties on every one sold, however. We are supposed to. If so, even at 3 cents per disk, a number that I seemed to have heard, we will be in the clover soon. They are rapidly becoming almost the same price as CDR disks at about a buck. When that happens, why would anybody buy a disk that you can only write to once, when you can get an erasable for almost the same price? Then the only advantage of a CDR disk is that it can be written faster, and one needn't worry about it being accidentally erased, such as photo archives, or year end business data, etc. There will be room for both, and most,if not all, CDRW drives can write both media.
