Well I grabbed this from a site:

The DVD-R DVD+R difference can easily be summarized by the following:

* The DVD-R/RW standard was developed by Pioneer, and is used primarily by Apple and Pioneer. These “minus“ discs can only be written to in one layer on the discs surface. In addition, this format is supported by the DVD forum, but is in no way an industry standard. DVD-R/RW discs are cheaper than the “plus” format.

* The DVD+R/RW format is supported by Philips, Dell, Sony, HP, and Microsoft. These discs can be written to in multiple layers, giving them slightly better and more disc storage than the “minus“ format. Because of this additional capacity, they are slightly more expensive than “minus“ discs.

Course, I never bothered to look during Hullut Päivät and bought them for about 3.75 a piece....

Well, that just bites !

I consider myself a person well versed in computers (for the most part). And now I learn something very new!

How dare the manufacturers sell something so close in name to each other but wind up being perfectly obsolete.


It just makes me :evil: mad...

And no thanks on the offer, I guess...

:(
