Greetings,
I am a bit confused on which kind of optical disc technologies are currently available on store shelves. Can the kind of optical discs that you can re-write to still be bought from brick and mortar store shelves and if so what are they called? How many times can you re-use them before they're spent? I have never used these kind of discs myself but I have heard about them in the past. I have always used the kind of optical discs that you burn your data onto one time and it is permanent. Not sure what this kind is called really. Like I said, I'm a bit confused.
Also; I went into a brick-and-mortar store today and noticed new portable Blue-Ray/DVD writers. However, the store did not offer any blank Blue-Ray disc's to write to. So I was thinking possibly you can only watch Blue-Ray movies on these portable writers and not burn Blue-Ray discs with them, only DVD's, is that correct?
Thanks
