Back Simply put, DVD come in two basic formats + and -. Both work fine on a player but the sign must match the type of burner you have. For example, I have a DVD+R/RW. I can not write to the DVD-R discs to make DVDs from them (but it will read a DVD-R disc). Some burners are +/-, which means it'll take either format, which is a very good thing.
RW means it can use a rewriteable DVD, which can erase and write again to the DVD. However, only have 50% of the DVD players (to the television) will work with a RW disc, so that's not a good choice for a final distributed version.

I know this is a stupid question but when shopping for dvds to burn how do I know the difference between real and data? All I see is dvd-r/+r/rw. The last ones I bought were Memorex dvd-r 8x. Were these data dvds? Thanks for the info. > > Tina > -- ---- ------ Original message -- ---- ------ > I'd say, go for real DVD.
