| DVD+R vs. DVD-R Can someone enlighten me on the difference between DVD+R vs. DVD-R? I have confirmed that my DVD Burner is compatible with both. Are there any advantages to using one vs. the other? Jim K. junkmailforjim@comcast.net |

DVD+RW was made first then DVD-R, DVD+R was made after DVD-R to provide a lower cost method of data archiving with DVD+RW drives. |

| Re: DVD+R vs. DVD-R DVD+R allows "fast editable" recording - technology which applies only when enabled during the recording process. Presumably you can go back and futz with the recording if the disk isn't finalized but you lose some space everytime you do. Don't know if it is a matter of the organic dyes used as the medium or the format of the disk, although I'd imagine it a factor of the latter. I use R/W disks for mastering to test the recording, then burn to DVD-R. Depending on what you read DVD-R or DVD+R may or may not be most compatible with typical home players. I ended up having to replace my existing home players just to view my home recordings. -steve Jim Key wrote: > Can someone enlighten me on the difference between DVD+R vs. DVD-R?
