yeah it is true, theres quite a fe downloadable demos on download.com if you want to try it out before forking out for the software. It compresses the DVD format so it will fit on the CD, but you need the software to be able to play it back, like Divx or xvid. I think it can also burn into standard V-CD format so some standalone DVD players can recognise it too

8x burn only available for +r at the mo, look out for 8x -r as u'll have less compatibility probs with that format.
