there are two competing standards, that have many companies supporting it. the dvd+r and dvd-r. They both hold 4.7 GB of data, and are single side. dvd-r is supposed to support more stand alone dvd players that you connect to your TV. the dvd+RW and dvd-RW are he rewritable for each standards. dvd-r disks are cheaper than dvd+r disks.

what you can do is go to dvdrhelp, and check what format your dvd player uses
