My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia.

Put simply R is writeable and RW is re-writable the rest can be gleaned from the many articles available on-line by googling So rather than re-invent the wheel perhaps if you just read one of them for example this one | ||

My System: Sky+ Multiroom,Thompson PVR, Dreambox 7000S, 300gig HDD, 1.1m Dish, Moteck SG-2100A DISEQC Motor, Gemini image, 2g USB Stick.  A defender of the Remote Control Brigade, Sir R can flick channels faster than a Robben dive | the main thing is, all are ok  they will all burn, and they will all play back. Most modern DVD writers support all of them. if like me, you own a Pioneer DVDRW-112D then its burns all of them plus the dual/double layer discs too (8.5gig) Needed for my Xbox360 games  | ||

My System: 1200cc with 100,000,000,000 neurons and 100,000,000,000,000 connections | Just to add to the guide posted, DVD-R uses constant linear velocity (CLV) - where as DVD+R uses constant angular velocity (CAV). It may sound overly technical to be important but many older DVD players can only deal with CLV and therefore play DVD-Rs better than +Rs, so if you plan to play the DVD on an older stand alone player DVD-R/RW might be a better choice. | ||
