Comparing Different Minidiscs

[ROMBUSTERS]

I think we need to add a FAQ area for the various discs. This section could include the following (see below) as well as the differences between manufactrs and 'premium' discs. Anywhere i have a '?' listed below i do not know the exact specifications and would greatly appreciate feedback (if your post checks out I'll edit my initial post to include your information).

Here's what I've compiled so far:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think there should be a FAQ for the differences between using

standard MD60/74/80 discs and HiMD discs. For example total space,

write/access speeds etc.

HiMD Disc

Total Capacity: 1GB or approx. 964MB

Approx. Write Speed: ??

Approx. Read Speed: ??

# of Times Recordable: ??

MD80 Disc

Total Capacity MD: Approx. 171MB

Total Capacity HiMD: 291MB

Approx. Write Speed: ??

Approx. Read Speed: ??

# of Times Recordable: 1 million

MD74 Disc

Total Capacity MD: Approx. 159MB

Total Capacity HiMD: 270MB

yes but it basically only shows the playback times

Won't the write/read speeds be system dependant?

[ROMBUSTERS]

maybe the encoding/transfer time but not the write time. Besides we're going with estimates here anyways
