For raw speed DVD-R is now equal with DVD+R (both are now at 4x), but DVD+RW is still superior (2.4x and even 4x vs. 2x DVD-RW). But raw speed is not the only factor in which plus is superior. But it'd be nice to see the benchmarks anyway.

Well this is the second post that I've read where RJ feels the "+" format is superior to the "-" format. I suppose I only have a limited view on this debate, but have been reading up on the subject also. Is this your opinion that the "+" format is better, or can you substantiate your statement with fact? From my perspective (from within the music industry) the "+" format is considered second fiddle and not even an option to artists who want to be compatable. From my limited reading on the subject, it seems to me that there are two camps (is that the best way to put it?). One camp would be computer users, the other would be what I would consider to be content creators (audio, video, multimedia). RJ, you seem to be harbored in the computer users side of things where as my point of view would come from the content creators side. From my point of view, I would commit professional suicide by using a "+" format burner. I even had the opportunity to witness Philips fall flat on their faces at the NAMM show in Los Angeles when they tried to show how compatable their "+" burners are for DVD-Audio -- by the end of the week long show they never got a disc to play in any equipment except their own and even then the audo sync faultered.
So I guess I see your statement as conjecture and certainly not based on facts. Again, from my limited reading on the subject, it seems to look like the old VHS v. beta war from the mid/late 1970's. I doubt anyone can say (at least right now) with 100% certainty that only one format will win out. Maybe they both will win out, maybe with the advent of the blue laser DVD they will both be considered old dogs by next year.
