I wish to backup all my cdr's onto a couple of dvd's but I am slightly confused with the selection available. What is the difference between the + or - disks, dvd r or dvd rw's? :confused:
Many thanks.
 
if i remember correctly, the only real difference is compatibility with other DVD-ROM drives and DVD players. not 100% sure though.
 
I have a dual-format burner, merely because I didn't want to have to choose. :p I also find that, at least in the U.S. now, DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW media costs exactly the same.

that and the burners pretty much cost the same as if you were to buy a single format burner of one or the other. lol.
 
iirc, it's a little easier to get +R of good quality. Much more flooding of the market with crappy -r media.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
