CD-R: (Compact disc-recorder) this is a normal Compact disc
that you can record information to. Once the disc has been written to it is
permanent. CD-R usually holds around 700mb of data
CD-RW:
(Compact disc-rewriteable) you
can also write data to this compact disc, however this time you can wipe the
disc clean and reuse it over and over.
DVD-R:
digital Versatile Disc (formally
Digital Video Disc) -R was the first DVD to arrive on the scene. A lot of
people still use this disc format as their DVD burner drives are only
compatible with this type. You can not erase a disc after writing on it. DVD
discs usually hold around 4.7 GB of data.
DVD+R:
Is a newer, more developed DVD disc
format which offers a bit more success rate when burning discs. To use these
discs the data is permanently written to the disc.
DVD-RW: This format allows you to erase the data and files from the
disc and write more to the disc. Normal home DVD players do not really like
rewritable DVD discs.
DVD+RW: You can also re-write onto this type of disc.
DVD+/-R
DL: Is a DVD dual or double sided disc.
It is not new technology but has only recently been available to the public.
DVD movies are often on a dual layer disc. It can hold around 9 GB of data.
Notes:
- To find out what format disc your home DVD player
likes, buy a few different discs in small quantities for testing. My
player likes a Sony DVD-R disc. It does not play a verbatim disc. It also
plays DVD+R discs; however it depends on the brand.
- To find out which format your DVD burner is
compatible with check its properties. My DVD burner shows DVDRW because it
is compatible with nearly every type of disc including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R,
DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL. To find the properties right click
on the icon in my computer and choose properties from the menu.
- This article what is a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, or
a DVD-RW is a brief and simple descriptions of the different disc
formats. For more information type your query into Google.
- The new Dual layer DVD burners are usually
compatible with all disc formats that have previously been made.
- DVD Movies do not fit on a 4.7 GB DVD disc. You have to
copy them to a dual layer DVD disc, or shrink the movie with DVD Shrink.
