I was wondering what media you use for burning movies? It's difficult to know what the difference between DVD-R & DVD+R is. Is there a brand that is recommended and should I be using - or +?

as i have been led to beleive the -r is for older dvd players and the +r is for newer ones the +rw ones can be recorded/burned more than once i use +rw ones as i can burn over the top of old films a couple of times they are dearer to buy but worth it .....if you get the argos catalogue and go to the page on dvd disks there is a full explanation there all about -R and +R.....

that is the way it was explained to me by my children.
DVD-R can not be edited once burned.... DVD+R can be
re-used. my first thought when i read burned was to
put it on fire...

I thought it was DVD RW that was rewritable?

when i fisrt started burning different burners and player used different types of media. my first burner used only dvd+r so thats what i used. since them ive been through about 5 different burners and now i still by dvd=r even though all new burners can use anything. and for the record dvd-rw is the rewritable media and even they come in dvd+rw and dvd-rw.

you are absoloutely correct!! i say in my post exactly that .....and -R is the format for older dvd players and +R is for newer dvd players as i am lead to beleive;)BUT I AM SO CONFUSED NOW I DONT KNOW WHATS WHAT!!!!it sounds like algebra now or one of einsteins equasions ............... D+R=DVR-VD+RW=W-DVD =I HAVE NOT REALY GOT A BLOODY CLUE NOW
