    DVD-R/W was the first DVD recording format released that was compatible with standalone DVD Players.

    DVD-R is a non-rewriteable format and it is compatible with about 91% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.

    DVD-RW is a rewriteable format and it is compatible with about 74% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.

    DVD-R/W supports single side 4.7 GB* DVDs(called DVD-5) and double side 9.4 GB* DVDs(called DVD-10).


    DVD+R/W has some better features than DVD-R/W such as lossless linking and both CAV and CLV writing.

    DVD+R is a non-rewritable format and it is compatible with about 86% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.

    DVD+RW is a rewritable format and is compatible with about 74% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.

    DVD+R/W supports single side 4.7 GB* DVDs(called DVD-5) and double side 9.4 GB* DVDs(called DVD-10).
