A previous DVD recordable format called DVD-RAM (DVD random access memory) predates DVD-R. Developed in 1996, DVD-RAM is a rewritable optical disc usually encased in a cartridge. Currently available in standard 4.7 GB (4.377 GiB), it is ideal for use that requires quick revisions and rewriting. In 2002 a new format was developed called DVD+R (or "plus" R). Created by a coalition called the DVD+RW Alliance, this format uses a number of improved technologies that, while generally unnoticeable to the end user, make a more reliable technology. One example is the ADIP (ADdress In Pregroove) system of tracking and speed control used by DVD+R being less susceptible to interference and error than the LPP (Land Pre Pit) system used by DVD-R, which makes the ADIP system more accurate at higher speeds. In addition, DVD+R(W) has a more robust error management system than DVD-R(W), allowing for more accurate burning to media independent of the quality of the media. Additional session linking methods are more accurate with DVD+R(W) versus DVD-R(W), resulting in fewer damaged or unusable discs due to buffer under-run and multi-session disks with fewer PI/PO errors.[1] This new format, among other things, resulted in DVD-R being unofficially referred to as DVD "minus" R (though in countries where British English is dominant, the term "minus R" was already common; not just in contrast to "plus R")[2][3]. DVD-R and DVD+R technologies are not directly compatible, which created a format war in the DVD technology industry. To reconcile the two competing formats, manufacturers created hybrid drives that could read both – most hybrid drives that handle both formats are labeled DVD±R and Super Multi (which includes DVD-RAM support) and are very popular. As of 2006, the market for recordable DVD technology shows little sign of settling down in favour of either the plus or dash formats, which is mostly the result of the increasing numbers of dual-format devices that can record to both formats; it has become very difficult to find new devices that can only record to one of the formats. However, because the DVD-R format has been in use since 1997, it has had a five-year lead on DVD+R. As such, older or cheaper DVD players (up to 2004 vintage) are more likely to favour the DVD-R standard exclusively[4]. ----- its basically a continuation of sony vs pioneer | ||

I've always used these HP DVD-R ![[image loading]](http://juarezpcparts.com/images/DS-HP-DVD-R16X100C.jpg) I've also used the Orange HP discs which are +R and those are fine too. Just because the discs say a name brand don't mean they are good, its possible you got a bad batch. Just return them for these HP discs. They're usually cheaper too 50 discs for 15$ is the most I've ever payed. PS- you might try and find some software/firemware or driver updates for the burner. Might have to open up case and look at model number if it doesn't show up in windows though. | ||

Alternatively, you can check what media works best with your burner in their forums. Certain burners work better with certain brands of blank media, etc. | ||

The laptop drive probably recognizes and burns both. always burn -R if you have a choice, +R isn't always recognized by every dvd reader. | ||

Just for when you have a drink that has condensation on the sides and it drips down the side of the cup or something? As for OP, like Charlie said you could just have a bad batch. It happened to me the first time I bought discs to burn my music on and it took me forever to find out why I couldn't write anything on them. I took them back and got a new batch, this time only 1 of the discs in the new batch wasn't writable O_o (lucky me?). Try using another comp to see if it is the disc maybe, or just try another disc on your computer to double check. If that is not the problem I'm not really sure what is. EDIT: Ahh missed that one post, so apparently it works on your laptop? You could try putting the files on a jump drive and plug it into your laptop so you can transfer the files from the drive to your DVD right? Or do the files you are burning need to be actually downloaded on your computer? | ||
