Combo Drive Petition

#1

Hi there everybody!

I am an optical disc freak from Finland. :sunglasses:

I have made a Combo Drive Petition, because I am worried about the future of optical discs. There are so many of them, that it seems to be almost impossible to preserve all those formats. Now you have an opprtunity to change this annoying situation and encourage the manufacturers to make combo drives, which will have all the CD/DVD -formats.

What do you think of my petition?

Yours sincerely, Henri Heinonen.

though i agree with you and think it’s a noble petition, these corporations need to keep selling the “newer” devices and their associated peripherals/accessories/media to keep making money…sadly, a grassroots petition will have little effect. perhaps a better tactic is to boycott the purchase of some of the newer devices/standards which will affect their bottom lines and cause them to take more notice (similar to boycotting RIAA/MPAA backed music/dvd releases). take the power back!

p.s. i signed it.

Yes. That is true.

They said few years ago that recordable DVD DL is impossible, but now there are at least DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL. Maybe there will be also DVD-RAM DL, DVD+RW DL and DVD-RW DL in the near future. Impossible? Maybe, but how long? :slight_smile:

By the way. Have you ever heard about LG GSA-4163B? It will read and write all the DVD and CD -medias except those DVD-RAM DL, DVD+RW DL and DVD-RW DL and DVD-RAMs with a cartridge. Too sad that it does not support DD-CD-R(W)s either.

All in all; that drive is almost a dream. :slight_smile:
