The_WRATH Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 i dont really no the difference between the two, except that dvd+rs cost a bit more. what ive also heard is that if you mess up on a dvd+r that you can burn it again using the same disk or something lol, and that dvd-rs are like regular...cdrs lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeremy Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Well DVD+R's are compatible with more drives than DVD-R's, and in my experience, they work better. I'm not sure if you can burn it again using the same disc, though it may be possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyks Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 its just format, someone suggested one holds video and one holds data better. but its been my experience that they are the same but toshiba doesnt use + and Sony uses +/-. I think its like vhs vs betamax, different companies use different things. I do not think there is a noted diff. Correct me if im wrong anyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobbDogg Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Yeah its all about compatability. I've never seen one that is superior over the other. What I do is buy a small pack of each and find out which ones play back in your dvd player better. Once you know then go hog wild and buy a bulk pack of discs, or whatever you plan on doing. And no you can't burn over a +R or anything if you mess up on it, for that you need a RW disc. For me a -R disc is more compatible with my dvd player so I tend to buy more of them. You need to find out which works for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasto Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 I bought a 50 pack of -R, but my burner is +/-. I just bought the -R because my other computer has a -R only burner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_WRATH Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 well, im talking about price, and your talking about compatibility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobbDogg Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Hmm, where I buy discs the two formats are similar priced. Either way find out which works for your dvd player and go from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I bought a pack of -Rs one day and found out that all of my DVD players are compatible with it, along with a bunch of my friends' players. I never bothered with +R media since -R has worked for me everytime. It's also a plus that my first and final choice just happened to be cheaper.
