If I find the rare store clerk that knows the difference, I would
expect him to say that the DVDs created on this burner may not be
playable on all DVD players. I don't expect him to know why, I don't
expect him to tell me why, and I don't expect him to tell me that my
decision is flawed. The more successful store clerk will say "That's
a good burner, but this one over here will burn DVDs that will play on
all DVD players." Rather than fault my decision, he is offering an
alternative that would be better.

Actually, though, isn't it that all DVD players will not play DVDs
created by burners? The limitation is in the player, not the burner
as I understand it.

If you're interested in bridge selling as a profession, romance the
style and the history. Robert McColloch didn't buy London Bridge and
move it to Lake Havasu because of the structural features.
