scotsman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Use DVD R.W if you want to record Tv programs over and over again and DVD R for any movie you want to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiu-Jitsu Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yes, you have to check your instructions to determine whether you need to use + or - media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinglekJim Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hey Slippery, Most new recorders can handle both DVD+RW and DVD+RW (but check). More importantly, I was driven nuts trying to use DVD R/W discs, my dvd player handles divx/avi files so I thought I would save money by using re-recordable media (RW discs) but every brand I bought only handled a few re-writes before it cra_pped out. Then I discovered SONY ACCUCORE disks, gold color discs with accucore written on them. These babies really are incredible, I have re-wrote over my first three discs atleast a 100 times, and now after a year two of them have cra_pped out, which beats the heck out of all the other brands I have ever used (TDK and other major manufacturers). They are easy to find and just a little more expensive, but really worth it. best wishes, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cophen Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 If your machine gives you the option use DVD-RAM disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
