Hello,

I am looking for a DVD drive to use for RW. I want one that is compatable, or MOST compatable with Alcohol 120%. In the Alcohol 120% drive compatability list, I noticed there is both DVD-RW and DVD+RW listed. I also looked through a few drives and noticed that none have both -RW and +RW listed.

This prompted me to search the internet for a definition of the 2 types. I found media that is rated +RW and some that is rated -RW, but both were the same size at 4.7gig.

Can someone please clearify the difference or provide a URL to a site that can? I just don't want to get 'burned' :devil: like I did when I bought my burner.

Thanks,
Wonkamon

The list of places for information is endless but you should find most of what you want to know on the sites mentiond above.

I am moving this post to the Off topic section of the forum, as i feel that is where it belongs.
