There's only one way to find out... -- viv +RW is easier to use than -RW because of the quick start of +rw . +R and -R are no difference to use. That's only true if the recorder is designed to use both types due to an intrinsic difference between the two formats. If it says -R then buy -R if it says +R then buy +R if it says it works with both it's very unlikely you will notice a difference. |

The reason I ask is I was backing up some old tapes onto DVD for my brother, and he gave me a spindle of DVD+R discs. Previously I have used only DVD-R discs for recordings that I want to write once and finalise into DVD-Video, and DVD-RAM for timeshifting before we got a PVR. Is one of the +R or -R better for any reason, or are they interchangeable? Apologies for my ignorance! Cheers Ed Never had a problem with either on my Liteon 5023. No compatibility issues with anything I've recorded on it. I do however record to the HDD first then save to DVD if I want to keep it. I tend to but whatever disks are at hand and cheap. Last was a shop near me and was - Rs 100 for about £8. before that it was +Rs for about £8.50. £8 for a hundred?- D'oh! Make that 50. Doc |
