QUESTION
Do DVD+RW media differ from DVD-RW media?

ANSWER
Both are rewritable media (However, they do not record copyright protected data). But since each of them has its own physical structure, based on their respective standards, each recorder drive has to meet certain media standards.
Please look for the standard supported by your disc on the label side of the disc, or on the package, to see if your writer is compliant with the standard.
Currently, there are several standards for DVD recording.

* Main standards supported by DVD writers/recorders

For example, if your writer is compliant with the “DVD+RW standards,” you can use DVD+RW discs. Please check the standards supported by your writer before you buy DVD ReWritable discs.
Currently, there are no DVD-RW media products in our product line-up.
