254081 2004-07-21 09:47:00 its all to do with where the dirctory info is stored.....

they are two diffrent standards and dont work togeather.

if you have a DVD+R writer then you need DVD+R disks and so it id the other way around......

nether system has any big advantage, some DVD player will play both disks and some will only play one or the other.

if you are shopping for a DVD writer then look for one that can do both DVD+R and DVD-R
