Howdy!,

I think DVD-R(W) disks were manufactured first and the DVD+R(W) disks
came out later.

I was wondering if one type of disk (MINUS or PLUS) is the better one
to use for one certain kind of recording over the other type disk?

I have both types but was wondering which type DVD You prefer to use?

Thanks!

For writing DVD's on most computer DVDRW drives, use DVD+R. I've had
no problems on PC's, laptops, and Apple computers with DVD+R discs.
However, for some reason DVD-R discs don't seem to play nice on various
kinds of drives.

After I put photos on a disk I made for someone I Finalize it so they
can see the photos.

Thanks for the comment about -R discs being troublesome, I've been
using either type and wanted to know if the - or + type DVD was better
for some purpose.

I'm glad I dragged my feet before buying this XP box in 2006, because
the Optical Drive in it can burn both - or + DVD's plus DL discs too.

I'd hate to be on the Bleeding Edge and had bought the original DVD
burner made for the - type disc only.

I try to stay away from the Bleeding Edge, but I was caught when I paid
$900+ for a HP 4c Scanner to use on a 486 computer w/ Windows 3.1
in the late 1990's.

I can buy more than a dozen All In One printers/scanners for that much
money now.

I do appreciate all those who purchased the early computer gear and
made life easier for the people who buy and use them now.

Long ago I read about the superiority of DVD-R. Can't recall
why.

Don't much worry about which I use.

Actually becasue DVD-R was the first kid on the block by the time DVD+R
came around there were lots of DVD-R only Drives installed.
Unless you have a very old Computer that is no longer a problem.
Now it is basicly a case of mostly which is cheaper
