DVD+R
Think of DVD+RW (DVD+ReWritable) discs as the
digital equivalent of your old VHS tapes. Like video tape,
DVD+RW discs can be recorded to, erased and re-used.
But unlike video tape, DVD+RW discs will retain their
crystal-clear digital quality even after being erased and
re-recorded over 1000 times! And, this superior quality
will not degrade with the passage of time like VHS
tapes.

A lower-cost alternative to DVD+RW, these "Recordable"
discs cannot be erased. Once a recording is made to a
DVD+R disc, the disc space used by that recording can
never be reclaimed. DVD+R discs must be ‘finalized’
before they can be played back on standard DVD
Players, and once this process is complete, no more
recordings can be added. This is an important difference
between DVD+R and DVD+RW Discs.
