DVD+R/+RW
Simple - Compatible - Creative
No other format can match DVD+R/+RW's functionality, simplicity and compatibility. DVD+R/+RW was designed from the beginning with both data and video recording uses in mind. Compatibility with existing DVD players and DVD-ROM drives is a major strength of the DVD+R/+RW format. Because there are no confusing recording modes, you don't have make trade-offs between compatibility and flexibility.

DVD+RW video recorders allow users to add, delete or divide titles, overwrite titles in whole or in part, create or modify play lists and make other changes without losing compatibility with existing DVD players, unlike other formats. DVD+R/+RW also allows instant use and instant eject - you don't have to wait for the disc to format or finalize. And DVD+R/+RW recorders offer the same type of operation you're used to seeing on DVD players.

For PC users, DVD+RW offers direct editing on disc, background formatting so you don't have to wait before you can use the disc, built-in defect management, multi-session writing, and other unique recording features. DVD+R/+RW uses the same disc for both video and data. You can share recordings between your home electronics and computer equipment, add new recordings or even edit directly on the same disc. Furthermore, DVD+R Double Layer technology allows for storage of up to 8.5 GB of data on a single sided disc.

Supported by leading companies such as Dell, HP, Philips, Sony, Ricoh and close to one hundred other hardware and software leaders, DVD+R/+RW is the smart format for beginners and experts alike.
