189310	2003-11-05 04:10:00	which one to use dvd-r or dvd+r my friend's writer can write both.. which one would play better on a stand alone player??	heni72847 (1166)
189311	2003-11-05 04:43:00	dvd-r will be recognisable by older DVD players, however newer ones should be able to play both.	somebody (208)
189312	2003-11-05 04:49:00	> dvd-r > or dvd+r > > my friend's writer can write both.. > which one would play better on a stand alone player?? play "tag along". get a combo. its more expensive but a better investment.	Megaman (344)
189313	2003-11-05 05:30:00	FWIW, X-box can only read DVD-R/W ;-)	Chilling_Silently (228)
189314	2003-11-05 07:22:00	sorry i wasn't really clear on what i was on about got combo drive..yes now it's the media that needs deciding... looks like dvd-r is more compatible...is it?? also is the ones from dse good... for $8 or something...	heni72847 (1166)
189315	2003-11-06 04:08:00	aparently DVD+R/RW is more compadible with existing drives/players	Megaman (344)
189316	2003-11-06 04:15:00	I would disagree. DVD-R came out prior to DVD+R, and were designed for older DVD players. Newer DVD players can read both DVD-R and DVD+R.	somebody (208)
189317	2003-11-06 04:56:00	XBox and Playstation 2 can only read DVD-R. I have found that most stand alone DVD players will read DVD-R but not DVD+R, although most of the newer ones now will read both.	CYaBro (73)
189318	2003-11-06 08:05:00	so on the safe side i should burn dvd onto dvd-r especially when the disk is going to be passed around the family	heni72847 (1166)

Backwards compatibility is definitely in favour of DVD-R ... IIRC DVD+R isn't that widely supported by newer generation DVD players. Lo.	Lohsing (219)
