What is the difference, and why would a HP DVD Writer not be DVD-R compatible?
DVD+R are more expensive?, is that true?
any help on this matter would help basically i have a PC that has a DVD burner and through Nero 6, it can not burn DVDs, however found out, that it doesnt support DVD-R/RW???, havent got a clue why?,
model is HP Writer 300n
Thanks for any help, cheers

some are +, some are - and some are both, it wont burn a dvd-r if it is a dvd+r writer. the discs are slightly more expensive but yet, correct me if i am wrong, dvd-r are more compatible with standalones.
but why would i have a DVD Writer on a PC machine, that cant see DVD-Rs?? well once there burned it does?, but cant burn onto them?

You can thank the legends who split it up for that. This caused much confusion back in the day when it was one or the other, pitty there's no hard evidence that proves why you should use - instead of + (None that I've found).
And guess what, they're doing it again with Blu-Ray and DVD-HD. Why they can't just stick with developing Blu-Ray, I got no idea.
I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)
What I hate most is how (my) laptops allow you to change the Regions only 5 times after which you're stuck. What does a traveller like me do in such a case?
Not really VB, need need quick help?
