Hi,

What is the difference, please, between DVD+R and DVD-R (or RW)? When purchasing media, is one preferable to the other?
=========================
My burner only sees and burns to DVD+ whether it's a R/W or a R only. I would love to know the difference between the + and - myself. My step daughter's computer only sees DVD-R/RWs, mine only sees DVD+R/RWs.
