Is the " - " used in different situations than > the " + "? Yup. IIRC, The XBox uses DVD-RW and the PS2 uses DVD+RW. Apparently DVD-RW is slightly more compatible. This help? Chill.

Yes. > Is the " - " used in different situations than > the " + "? No. If you have a - format or a + format will make no difference to how you use it. If you go dual format your CD will be able to be played, used etc in more ( other ) CD Drives or players. So you make a CD using your new CD Writer in ( - ) format and take the CD to your mates' house. Your friend has a ( + ) player. Ergo no work. If all DVDs you burn are going to be used only on the Writer you make them on then it will make no difference. I am buying a DVD writer next week and am planning on getting a dual format writer. After all 4.7 Gigs should be enough for anybody to paraphrase a certain Microsoft person. :-)	Elephant (599)
