Hi Catherine, Yes, there are writable and re-writable DVDs too. As regards plus or minus type, this will largely depend on the make and model of DVD burner you have. If you don't have the DVD manual to hand, you will most likely find this information on the manufacturer's web site.

I haven't done this before with DVD and wondering - have looked online and there seem to be DVD-R discs and DVD+R discs. What's the difference between these? Also is it like CDs in that there are writeables and rewriteables with DVDs?
