DVD-R or DVD+R?
  
  • DVD-R was the first to be introduced and is still the most widely used format (Feb 2003)

  • DVD+R was introduced in early 2002 as a competing format. ---- Proponents claim better compatibility among readers, although most independent tests show that they are roughly equal.

  • The two formats are WRITE incompatible, but can be read on most players/drives. (--You must use a +R drive to write DVD+R, -R drive for DVD-R).

  • Drive manufacturers in the "-R camp:

    • Pioneer, Toshiba, Hitachi, Matsushita Electric (Panasonic), & others.

  • Drive manufacturers in the "+R camp:

    • Philips, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Ricoh, Yamaha, and others  

                    

  • Pioneer and Sony have released drives that are compatible with both formats, but most drives on the market require media from the proper "camp"

MAM-A has not made +R media yet, but will, if the format becomes more popular.
