What is the
difference between DVD-R and DVD+R?
|

As
DVD recording becomes the standard and the prices
come down, some will likely be adding DVD writers to
their existing computers.
But
what is the best format to use?
Anyone who was around twenty years ago might
remember the battle between the two video tape
formats: VHS (Victor Home System) and Betamax
(Sony). Fast forward to the twenty-first century and
we have a similar battle of the formats with DVD.
The
disks are pretty much the same, but the writing
process is different. DVD+R is a bit more advanced,
but the disks often cost more than the older DVD-R
format.
Another thing to consider is what format your DVD
recording software works best in. Some computer
users found they couldn’t get their recording
software to work and it turned out they needed to
use DVD-R.
Your
best bet! Pay a bit extra for a writer that supports
both formats. If you’re buying a new computer
though, chances are the DVD writer will permit you
to use both formats.
