 Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2007 7:38 pm Post subject: The difference between DVD-R and DVD+R |
  |
|
Sometimes people wanted to add a recordable DVD drive to my computer. and wonder whats the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R?
here's some information for them...
As DVD recording comes of age and the prices come down, more of us will likely be adding DVD writers to our computers. But what gives with these dueling formats?
Anyone who was around twenty years ago might remember the battle between the two video tape formats: VHS (Victor Home System) and Betamax (Sony). Fast forward to the twenty-first century and we have a similar battle of the formats with DVD.
The disks are pretty much the same, but the writing process is different. DVD+R is a bit more advanced, but the disks often cost more than the older DVD-R format.
Another thing to consider is what format your DVD recording software works best in. I had a friend that couldn't get his software to work and it turned out he needed to use DVD-R. Now he's a regular DVD pirate—Arrgh, just kiddin' matey!

Very well said. Thanks for the info arienking! So to all computer DVD recorder owners out there, be careful when buying your discs. If you get the wrong one, you can't use it.
