About DVD+R/+RW - DVD+RW is a direct descendant of CD-R/RW and has been promoted by the DVD+RW
Alliance, formed by companies that have played a central role in the promotion
of CD-R/RW. With a large storage capacity of 4.7GB, DVD+RW supports stress-free
fast writing and free appending/editing even after data has been recorded.
DVD+RW is well suited to applications where data may need to be freely
overwritten in everyday use, such as for storing data or making DVD-Videos, and
can be used for almost all applications.
On the other hand, DVD+R has been developed for those instances where
important data should never be erased or data is to be distributed/exchanged and
compatibility is extremely important. While keeping data from being erased or
overwritten, the discs share a high level of compatibility because of its
physical specifications that are basically the same as DVD-ROM discs. With
its excellent compatibility, recorded DVD+R media can be read or played by
almost all the DVD-ROM drives and DVD players. Click
