| 702242 | 2008-09-03 08:55:00 | Can't backup successfully to DVD+ disk. My writer is a MSI DVD+R DL, DVD R/RW. I want to backup or copy My Docs so that in future can open the disk and read what is on it. At the moment, the contents come up as numbers such as 1~, 2~ etc. Should I be using DVD- disks? | Tick1 (6970) | ||
| 702243 | 2008-09-03 09:30:00 | Wouldn't hurt to try :) You can get a pack of ten of either +/- from DSE for $10 each. |

| 702244 | 2008-09-03 10:48:00 | What do you mean when you say 1~ 2~ etc? You're not burning using MS-DOS compatible filenames which will shorten everything to 8+3 characters and end up with things like MYFILE~1.DOC everywhere? In which case all you need to do is adjust your burning program's settings... |

| 702246 | 2008-09-04 01:22:00 | It depends on your dvd burner, some burn better quality with -R, others with +R. But I think the actual +R standard is better, even though -R is the 'official' one. | utopian201 (6245) | ||
| 702247 | 2008-09-04 01:35:00 | It depends on your dvd burner, some burn better quality with -R, others with +R . But I think the actual +R standard is better, even though -R is the 'official' one . My curent burner a Pioneer records to any format but data disk burnt to +R disks can't be read unless I import them back with a ISO reader . . No problems with +RW, -RW or -R . For movies it can read -R and +R fine . I still preferr to use -R for movies and day to day use and +RW for testing purposes . . |

| 702249 | 2008-09-04 04:12:00 | we only use -R - the +R gave too much problems. sarel |
