Think I'm on the right board

But am transferring Hard drive recordings onto DVD discs and am wondering what the difference is between DVD-R and DVD+R I know what RW is for but not too sure of the - and +

Many thanks

Kathy

Kathy so long as whatever you're playing the discs on can accept either it doesn't matter which you use.
I think DVD-R is just an older format (it started earlier, but is still used as well). So some older CD players for instance can't read the DVD+R format.

Di has it.

-R is the older format +R offers more options when recording - they are both write once. As for playback it is not an issue now unless you own one of the original DVD players.

Thanks for that, most of my blank DVDs are +R I have only a couple of blank -R left
