What (re)writable DVD formats can I use?
Recordable and rewritable DVD formats include: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW.
DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs can be written to up to 1,000 times, whereas DVD-R/+R can only be written to once. However, DVD+RW provides the most storage (4.7 GB), is the easiest to use and is the only one to provide full compatibility. This means that a DVD+RW disc recorded in your DVD±RW drive can be played in virtually all DVD players and DVD-ROM equipped PCs.
Please check if the optical drive you are using can play the disc.
For more information on DVD+RW you can go to the website of the DVD+RW Alliance:
