Tom McB Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 As I understand it it's not like betamax/vhs, discs written on one format or other seem to play in all home DVD players- certainly have never found any difficulties with copies made or recieved in either format. Am fairly sure I have read a confirmation of this in one of the computer mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVD-R and DVD+R were started by different companies. At the start various manufacturers of DVD players only made they players compactable with either + or - Anyway, the majority of players will play DVD-R better. So if you are looking to pick up some media I would get DVD-R. DVD+R haven't worked for me in past. They have came right down in price recently. Good makes of media to go for I would say are Datawrite and Ritek. Never had a problem with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 DVD+R seem to be slightly better quality, but less compatible than DVD -R( I think ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny P Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Why didn't that link work?? Cos you're a thick Green*ck numpty? LINK IS HERE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingford Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Why didn't that link work?? Mainly cos you're from outside of Paisley and thus stretching yourself (admirably for a Greenockian) with this techie stuff!! You want to easily make a link? Click the http box above. It's grey and on the 2nd line on the left... That throws up a wee grey box which offers you 1 line into which you stick YOUR chosen address... eg http://www.videohelp.com (Wee clue - don't try to use HTML...) or even jaggy bits such as > It disnae work. Then after doing the line 1 bit, just type in what you wish the link to be called in the next wee grey box you are offered. It is not that hard and can be a defining moment in yourn life - like it could be if you denounced the heresy of Crappilaw and became a Buddies fan.. Final hint: Don't touch or enter any part of yourself into a wee BROWN box, however nicely or well-presented you think it may be... Awrabest..
