Kasandoro Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Didn't know there was such a thing as CD+R's...I've heard of (and use) DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW though...

Thanks in Advance (Y) I'm quite sure CD+R or CD+RW does not exist. The main difference between DVD-R/-RW and DVD+R/+RW is that 'plus' discs support a burning method called packet writing. While 'minus' discs don't support packet writing, they have better compatibility with older DVD-ROM drives and DVD players.

KayMan2K Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I have NEVER heard of a media called CD+R or CD+RW. I understand there to only be one format for recordable CDs called CD-R (which stands for CD-Recordable). There are two flavors of DVD (+ and -), the major different being how data is written with respect to the reference spirals (or so I think).

KC Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yup never heard of a CD+R. As far as RW vs R goes. I hardly ever use RW because CD-Rs are so cheap. Every once in a great moon I will use a RW for testing a iso burn or something but thats about it.

EddieF Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 CD-RWs would be nice if they burned as fast as CD-Rs. But they burn much slower so I prefer to use CD-Rs.

Vice Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 CD-RWs would be nice if they burned as fast as CD-Rs. But they burn much slower so I prefer to use CD-Rs. And when you consider how cheap CD-R's are now, its like ?5 for 200 at some online shops.:|| That's 140GB of portable storage for ?5.. (if each disc holds 700MB each x200 working discs) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/447878-difference-between-cd-r-and-cdr/#findComment-587369327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

styn...big wlmesser P Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 About those DVD's, the DVD+RW are mainly better than DVD-RW? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/447878-difference-between-cd-r-and-cdr/#findComment-587369734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMaster Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 About those DVD's, the DVD+RW are mainly better than DVD-RW? For DVD's I'd get anything +R if your burner supports it. +R discs have extra error correction codes making it better to store Data. If you're using on your computer. If its for a DVD player check and make sure its compatible.
