FYI...
DVD+R and DVD+RW formats are supported by Philips, Sony, Hewlett-Packard,
Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha and others.
DVD+R is a recordable DVD format similar to CD-R. A DVD+R can only record
data once and then the data becomes permanent on the disc. The disc can not
be recorded onto a second time.
DVD+RW is a re-recordable format similar to CD-RW. The data on a DVD+RW disc
can be erased and recorded over numerous times without damaging the medium.
DVDs created by a +R/+RW device can be read by most commercial DVD-ROM
players.
DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM
These formats are supported by Panasonic, Toshiba, Apple Computer, Hitachi,
NEC, Pioneer, Samsung and Sharp. These formats are also supported by the DVD
Forum.
DVD-R is a recordable DVD format similar to CD-R and DVD+R. A DVD-R can only
record data once and then the data becomes permanent on the disc. The disc
can not be recorded onto a second time. There also are two additional
standards for DVD-R disks: DVD-RG for general use, and DVD-RA for authoring,
which is used for mastering DVD video or data and is not typically available
to the general public.
DVD-RW is a re-recordable format similar to CD-RW or DVD+RW. The data on a
DVD-RW disc can be erased and recorded over numerous times without damaging
the medium.
DVDs created by a -R/-RW device can be read by most commercial DVD-ROM
players.
DVD-RAM discs can be recorded and erased repeatedly but are only compatible
with devices manufactured by the companies that support the DVD-RAM format.
DVD-RAM discs are typically housed in cartridges.
DVD-ROM
DVD-ROM was the first DVD standard to hit the market and is a read-only
format. The video or game content is burned onto the DVD once and the DVD
will run on any DVD-ROM-equipped device.

Subject: [windows2000] OT DVD+R vs DVD-R
Sorry for the off-topic. Can anyone explain to me the difference
between DVD+R and DVD-R? I would assume the same answer would apply to
DVD+RW vs DVD-RW (except of course that the ...W can be re-written)
Thanks
