I know dvd+r was supposed to be pretty immiment, but is it out already? These are advertising the media at http://www.cd-rmedia.co.uk/cgi-bin2/cdrmedia/details.pl?id=vdvdr1 (I know they're 5 quid a piece, but they're Verbs, and that's what they charge for Verb dvd-r disks!)

hey blur :confused: whats the difference between a DVD-R as to a DVD+R ,
im a bit confused about this .

Its faster, but no supported by many drives and DVD Players. New DVD drives support it, but not many DVD Players

I'm going to move this to the DVD forum.

DVD+R should work on most dvd players, like dvd-r.

DVD+rw should also work on most dvd players, unlike dvd-rw, which is compatible with fewer.

Some DVD+rw drives should be firmware upgradable to support dvd+r, like the Philips drive, but not all. Apparently Sony's dvd+rw drive will not be upgradable.

Just wondered if +r was actually out yet, or if this shop were just jumping the gun.....

Actually from something I have read recently (though don't quote me on it because its all second hand info) DVD+R isn't as compatable on standalone drives as you think. Supposedly DVD-R actually has better compatability, and even players that are getting released today aren't DVD+R compatable.

Some shops have had DVD+R for sale for a few months now, but I am not sure if there is a drive out that currently supports it.

DVD+R is another exciting DVD rewritable format.
i didn't know it was rewritable ;)

Media is available but is there a drive that writes to it most only claim to write +RW.
