For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Sometimes the better product prevails and sometimes the cheaper one does (e.g. Betamax was a better format of video cassette but VHS became the more popular), and sometimes the competitors exist side by side.
The next generation of DVD (HD-DVD versus Blu-Ray) continues the saga.
If it helps mate, i also bought a HDD/dvd recorder and i find that dvd+ is more popular but mine is a multi format which means it can play both + and -
it should say in your book that came bundled with your recorder what discs are compatible..if not, it's best to google the model number of your recorder and see if you can find what discs will work best for you.
ALL THE BEST.
DVD+R is a dvd disc that allows multiple layers for one disc where as dvd-r only allows one layer. They will not compete to become the de Facto standard, because they are both here to stay. Multi layer DVD+r can allow extra capacity per disc than dvd-r hence its high cost.
DVD-R/RW was developed by Pioneer. Based on CD-RW technology, it uses a similar pitch of the helix, mark length of the 'burn' for data, and rotation control
DVD+R/RW is also based on CD-RW technology. DVD+R/RW is supported by Sony, Philips, HP, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha, and others, and has recently been endorsed by Microsoft.
