DVD +r or -r?

[SonyGuy]

What's the difference between DVD+r and DVD-r? If I wanted to burn a video to a blank DVD disc and watch it on a home DVD player, what format would I need to go with? What file format should be used? vcd? svcd? Thanks.

DVD-R/W was the first DVD recording format released that was compatible with standalone DVD Players.
DVD-R is a non-rewriteable format and it is compatible with about 91% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD-RW is a rewriteable format and it is compatible with about 74% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD-R/W supports single side 4.7 GB* DVDs(called DVD-5) and double side 9.4 GB* DVDs(called DVD-10).


DVD+R/W has some better features than DVD-R/W such as lossless linking and both CAV and CLV writing.
DVD+R is a non-rewritable format and it is compatible with about 86% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD+RW is a rewritable format and is compatible with about 74% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD+R/W supports single side 4.7 GB* DVDs(called DVD-5) and double side 9.4 GB* DVDs(called DVD-10).

Actually DVD-Rs are cheaper than DVD+Rs but DVD+Rs suppose to be better for video recording.

:stupid:

Yeah... DVD +R are more expensive than -R

Add that to the greater compatibility of -R and it's almost a "no brainer".



Just don't get stuck with the "Betamax". :D
