Title: DVD-R or DVD+R?
Post by: 0612 on August 21, 2004, 10:16:06 AM
I know this has nothing to do with Harry Potter, but I kinda need this urgently, so please help.
What's the difference between a DVD-R and a DVD+R?

DVD+R and DVD+RW are basically identical, DVD+RW just allows disc to be wiped and used again, just like CDRW.

DVD-R and DVD-RW are also basically identical, with same difference as with '+' formats.

DVD-R/W and DVD+R/W are physically pretty much the same discs, but how the data is stored onto them is different -- DVD+R/W's method is slightly more technically advanced than DVD-R/W's. DVD+R/W discs cost appx 2-4 times more than DVD-R/W discs. Both discs work on regular DVD players, DVD-ROMs and can be read with both writer types.

Phew... So the difference between the '+' and the '-' is just the speed, eh? I see...
