rory 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Well I'll be, I just received a Geo card, and the CD is not a CD, its a DVD. Now how do they expect that to run in a CD Drive!?? They messed up big with that idea .. well lucky I have 8.12 anyway, but for others out there, be aware they seem to be sending DVDs now instead of CDs.

By the way they work great in the DVD drive! In fact the importer of PC parts that I use dont sell CD drives anymore. Also the price at the end was more or less the same!

rory 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Darn, last card I got had a CD though, was only a month or so ago .. But yeah the CDRW is still cheaper than the DVDRW .. like $15 instead of $30 .. on the US side. Never thought of getting a DVD/CDRW Combo as we dont need a DVD player for the DVR, though those are not much more than the CDRWs. Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory You get your Geo stuff thru the US office or straight from Taipei? JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Nah I biy from a US Distributor, an advertiser on this forum actually. I dont buy enough to warrant buying from Geo themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
501 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Hey Rory, how come you don't use DVD-rw drives in your DVR's? For Backups, they hold so much more data and DVDrs are cheaper then cdrs too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted October 31, 2007 I use the DVD-RW in the high end ones, just the CDRW in the budget ones. That said, I dont know of any of my clients that have ever used the DVD-RW (personally I never have either) .. most have USB drives that hold much more and is sooo much easier to use. DVD disks are more $$ down here actually. Also never had to back up anything over the size of a CD. Evidence for the cops has only required the video of the incident in my experience, so typically its been no more than 100MB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
