pioneer 109? what the hell is going on,, god please help, should i change or stick with pioneer 108? what are the differences?

is pioneer trying to play with us?

I found this entry in the VideoHelp.com forum dated 1/7/2005:

chris18 :
You say the Pioneer DVR-109 will write to both DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL. I thought the DVR-108 did that, or was that a typo?

No, as of now DVR-108 only writes to DVD+R DL, because there's still no DVD-R DL visible anywhere and it's not even clear if the specifications are finalized by DVD Forum. You might be able to add DVD-R DL support with a firmware update, but from the past it looks like Pioneer doesn't like to add new features to their older drives.

I hope this helps,

the Pioneer 109 is in stock at bigpockets as of 31st jan 2005 they have a very informative write up on what it can and cant do plus a link to pioneer with all the technical jargon hope this helps bob
