As I recall, Don, they are re-writeable, will not work on many players and are suitable for (very)compatible DVD players only. They are certainly less 'universal'. They also come with minusR(DVD-R) and plusR(DVD+R). I believe some machines can handle both types. My Panasonic DVD Player recorder will not look at the +R, but will play a music CD OK. Not much info, I'm sorry, Don,but HTH. Hopefully a fuller answer may be forthcoming!
