DVD+R disks are nothing like a USB FLASH drive, they fit into a totally different category of usefulness and functionality.

But in the end all they really do is hold info like a flash drive. Same concept, just different size & shape.

Let's see, different size and shape, one is R/W media and one is R/O media. They use totally different technology to read and write.

Gee, other than the fact that they're both mass storage, they really aren't all that similar.

Gee, with that definition, a pencil and paper is also "the same". Get a grip, when you're wrong, you're simply wrong!

Definitely go with 8GB, better safe than sorry.
Because sometimes when I would go to transfer
big .avi files I had to do them in multiple transfers.
If you go with one 8GB it will be easier, I just bought an
external hard drive and it makes transferring much easier!
