| DVD+R/+RW
video recorders are based on the standardized DVD-Video
format currently used by the millions of DVD players sold
worldwide. Because DVD+RW uses only one mode for recording
and editing, every recording you make is DVD-Video compatible.
There is no need for a player explicitly to support DVD+RW
or to indicate compatibility with DVD+RW on the front of
the player by means of a logo. The reason you see this
on other recordable DVD formats is because they require
specially adapted players to make their recordings compatible
with other machines. The logo lets you know which players
will work with your recording. In contrast, even if a player
is not indicated explicitly as being DVD+RW compatible,
it is very likely it will still play the disc because we
use the standardized DVD-Video format.
On a physical level, recordable and rewritable DVDs
are almost identical to normal, pre-pressed DVDs. However,
due to the nature of recordable and rewritable media
(such as a different degree of laser reflectivity), a
minority of players might not be able to play such discs
correctly. As a guideline to which players can and cannot
play DVD+R and DVD+RW, so-called compatibility overviews
were created.
