Purchased a Pioneer BDR-2212 recently, great 'last hurrah' drive if you're looking for BDXL support.
Anyway, I was surprised to see DVD+RW DL listed as incapable in drive specifications. Thinking it was a bug, check the Pioneer specsheet, and sure enough, no read or write on DVD+RW DL. But reads every flavor of dash DVD, DVD+R DL and single layer DVD+RWs.
Look through some of Pioneer and LG's older models, no DVD+RW DL support either.
Is DVD+RW DL a format that simply lost ground to DVD-RW DL and was never implemented? Reliability issues? Drive manufacturer turf war?
I would appreciate an explanation.
