This article is missing any information that helps understand the difference between the + and - variants Pemboid ( talk) 08:40, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Reading this as someone who needed information on the difference I have not found the answer here. There seems to be quite a lot of specialist language here too that I'm not sure everyone would understand yettie0711 ( talk) 13:03, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
I do not believe this is true anymore "For computer use, the DVD-R non-rewritable variant of DVD-RW is vastly more popular than DVD+R, and mail order or bulk pricing of DVD-R media is significantly cheaper than DVD+R."
I use CD-RW's and its not true I need to delete the entire content of the CD before adding new content. I think the statement that you do need to restart CD-RW's might be outdated or need revision. 128.176.152.224 08:40, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Surely there should be some mention of the DVD+RW standard's inability to correctly make widescreen anamorphic recordings from widescreen anamorphic broadcasts, e.g. from digital set top boxes. (This may be more of an issue in Europe). This does seem to be a major oversight in the standard.
This article not focused on the +RW issue at all it’s a general review on DVD
not true!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just to say that this information has been here since 2006 without citation and it is just fine. It gave me the information I needed and seeing the note threatening it added to my ongoing doubts as to whether demanding citations on everything is really needed. Perhaps having an expert in the field sign off on the entry would be as good or better. The Britanica asked experts to write their entries and it showed great utility for longer than Wiki has existed. Just a thought. Henrysteinberger ( talk) 19:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Don't know if this should be included but I've found that most DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs are incompatible with normal DVD players i.e. those installed in a TV, a stand-alone DVD player or those found as part of a DVD system in a car but not the actual DVD recording system it originated from. If anyone has experienced this and we can reach a consensus I'd like to suggestion a section on incompatibilities which states such. Rosie, Queen of Corona ( talk) 20:09, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
The intro states that a dvd+rw can store up to 4.7 GB. I own several dual layer dvd+rw that can store approximately 8.5 GB.-- Dvd-junkie ( talk) 06:28, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
After several years of drives being capable of writing DVD+RW faster than 4x speeds, only very recently has media faster than 4x hit the market. Why the very long delay? Memorex, Verbatim and Imation are the only 8x brands I've found. Bizzybody ( talk) 22:09, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Please discuss this on Talk:DVD recordable#Proposed merge with DVD-R - DVD+R - DVD-RW - DVD+RW
