I forgot to mention an excellent site concerning all things DVD, take a look at: http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html ----- Original Message ----- From: Malcolm Parfitt To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 2:28 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT CDRWs The DVD-R DVD+R difference can easily be summarised by the following: The DVD-R/RW standard was developed by Pioneer, and is used primarily by Apple and Pioneer. These "minus" discs can only be written to in one layer on the discs surface. In addition, this format is supported by the DVD forum, but is in no way an industry standard. DVD-R/RW discs are cheaper than the "plus" format. The DVD+R/RW format is supported by Philips, Dell, Sony, HP, and Microsoft. These discs can be written to in multiple layers, giving them slightly better and more disc storage than the "minus" format. Because of this additional capacity, they are slightly more expensive than "minus" discs. ----- Original Message ----- From: George Bell To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 1:57 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT CDRWs Sorry to hi-jack Ian's question, but in reply, if anyone can also explain the difference between DVD-RW and DVD+RW as well, I would be most grateful. That is DVD minus RW, and DVD plus RW. It might save me a trip back to Staples this afternoon with a pack of DVD minus RWs. (And maybe Ian too!)

Second, if you are storing, for example texts or photos on a CDRW, is it possible to delete and replace individual files or is it only possible to delete and rewrite the entire contents? __________ NOD32 1.1744 (20060908) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com This system is protected by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com MSGTAG has notified the sender that this message has been read. __________ NOD32 1.1744 (20060908) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
