    For you computer whizzes

    What is the difference in DVD-R & DVD+R
    and DVD-RW & DVD+RW???

    I know that DVD-R or DVD+R can only be recorded on once, but the DVD-RW & DVD+RW can be rewritten 1,000 times. What's the significance of the - or +???

    I think they are just considered 2 different standards. As

    basically the are just different formats. the -'s were introduced first and more dvd players play the -'s. They are essentially better to get because they have more playability. Its alot more rare for a -r to not play back on a standalone dvd player than a +r is. Even in 2006, the majority of dvd players in the world wont play +'rs.

    Seems like one was considered more of a DVD-Rom standard while one was more of a DVD player standard, even though I dont think thats completely accurate now.

    Thanks. My uncle had that question for me and that was one of those rare occasions I didn't have an answer. (If you can't dazzle 'em with brillance, baffle 'em with BS). [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
