The formats are DVD-R and DVD+R (Plus DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM)
(Stolen from Answerbag)
DVD+R is a DVD disc that allows multiple layers for one disc where as DVD-r only allows one layer. They will not compete to become the de Facto standard, because they are both here to stay. Multi layer DVD+R can allow extra capacity per disc than DVD-R hence its high cost!
(Not stolen from Answerbag, but some technical site)
DVD+R is a write-once format intended to be more compatible with more DVD players, though at this point it seems to be about even with DVD-R, which remains the most compatible computer-burned DVD format.
The plus formats have the same data storage capacity as the minus formats (4.7GB)...
(Wikipedia)
...But In October of 2003, it was demonstrated that double layer technology could be used with a DVD+R disc to nearly double the capacity to 8.5 GB per disc. Manufacturers have incorporated this technology into commercial devices since mid-2004 (DVD+R DL).
A DVD-R is a DVD that is writable only once, but a DVD-RW is one that you can write to multiple times, with each rewrite the size decreasing somewhat.
Primera TuffCoat Plus 16x DVD-R Media is very fast.
it is available on dvdr only with no artwork which is what i want.
Dvd-r or DVD+r are the most common types of dvds you can use to burn your own videos onto, you can also use a dvdrw which is a rewritable DVD, a dvdr usually says it can hold 4.7gbs of data, but in reallity it only holds just about 4.5gbs after formatting, most ripping software will also rip a dual layer DVD to a compressed rate of about 4.36gbs, so as to accommodate for the finished files to be able to fit on a dvdr, the best dvdr for me is a DVD-r, minus r dvds burn and work better in standalone DVD players as well as in computers, and most DVD burners these days are fully compatible with them, so your best bet is to get yourself some DVD-r's and start the burning, have fun.
ram holds more
rightable and rewightable
Simple. The answer is cheese.
No, sometimes DVDr and DVDrw look like normal Cd's and the cheaper ones don't even say they are dvd's until you put them into a computer and it reads the format
In short, Data DVD only can be played in computer, and DVD can be played on both DVD play and computer.
i believe import is fuzzier than the original DVD
The difference between optical and non optical is the way the drive in the DVD reads the disk. Optical is a better and more higher quality reader. So the picture is much better.
DVD-R should roughly sell for 29 to 39 US dollars per spindle of 100.
