What is the difference between -RW and +RW.....I looked it up on a forum but the answer was extremely confusing. Can you help? Thanks!

On a home recorder the different discs provide different record features and playback options. Also, the manufacturer of the unit probably has a preferred type and record speed that they recommend. For computer work and data both types have worked for me as long as they're a name brand like Sony or Verbatim.

I am certainly no expert on this subject; I only know there are machine specific requirements: I own a DVD recorder that allows me to edit the commercials from TV shows I record. In order to do this I must use -RW discs.I also have a DVD duplicator with which I can make copies of personally recorded home videos. This machine requires me to record the master copy on +RW format.

hmm. sounds like you've tested diff variables so that's what I would've done. It worked for me the first time so I'm not sure how to trouble shoot. In the manual or on their website there should be troubleshooting tips.

I can't find any difference at all besides on the top banner after Coreldraw X6 it says "Not for Commercial Use" ... otherwise it is exactly the same for all intensive purposes.

A question came to me regarding a request to key 4 locks all the same. I do not know if that is possible from the producer. I wanted to do the same and then decided for security reasons it was better to key each lock separately. I marked my keys and locks 1 through 4 and it is easy to keep them straight.

Silly Question but what is the difference between 4 systems and or ALL systems?Thanks,-Nigel

The ones pictured are DVD+RW, the ones in the blue/white packaging are DVD-RW. The +RW have advantages over the -RWs but depends on the DVD drive you have. If you have a DVD-RW drive, you will not get the advantages of +RWs. Too much to explain.

Since my earlier response about it not playing DVD-RW's in VR format I have tried it on DVD+RW's, and also on DVD-R's. It played the +RW's and the -R's just fine. I do not have any +R's nor any -RW's in video format, but it is probably only the -RW's in VR format that it will not play.

I have made lots of copies of videos, photos from DVD discs. I think the rw stands for "Rewritable". I don't think you will have any problems.

As a general rule, when the part numbers are identical except for the last letter, especially from an A to a B, the change of the last letter is to indicate that a newer version has been released. This is much the same as software programs that have updates that are sequentially numbered. This is my experience as a maintenence professional but you could check with a parts professional for insight.

Hi Bill, I wish I could help you, but I really don't know the difference between the two. Sorry.

Hi, I found no difference whatsoever! I alternate between the 2 of them depending on which one is cheaper! Hope that helps! :)

Bud Bundy is right, it is personal preference and also what works best if you intend on playing recorded disks on another player. I use the -R and -RW disks, because this format is more compatible with most DVD players - especially if you have an older one you want to play your recordings on. Eventhough the -R can only be recorded once, I'll use it for things I want to keep and have no intention of recording over. The -RW I use for everyday use and a good quality disk is supposed to allow you at least 2000 recordings. I hear Verbatims are very good quality, but I've been using Maxell & Memorex , because that's what I had on hand. Has worked excellent for me.

That's strange... I just did it with my camera, and selected the option "RAW+JPEG" from the RAW menu (under SET), and when I checked in the camera, I had a pair of files with the same name but different extensions (one JPG and one RAF). Now, opening the RAF files is a different matter, since I use Linux...-rw-r--r-- 1 daniel users 924191 Mar 29 15:40 DSCF2334.JPG-rw-r--r-- 1 daniel users 25437456 Mar 29 15:40 DSCF2334.RAF

Jr. involves only subtraction and addition; Math Dice has all 4 operations. I pulled in some dice with +, -, = on them to help my students, but we LOVE them both!
