Dvd Rw

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Please note that there are 5 DVD media types:

DVD+R
DVD-R
DVD+RW
DVD-RW
DVD-RAM

DVD-+RW media behave just like CD-RWs

Several DVD TV units will only play DVD-R and others will only play DVD+R.

You may have to "experiment" so as to see which DVD+- media would work for
you. Just make sure to buy a multi-format DVD recorder unit that handles
all the DVD format.

NOTE: DVD-RAM is "falling" out of popularity and this format is only
"really" used for PCs.
