What's the meaning of DVD R and DVD RW

DVD recordable and DVD rewritable are optical disc recording technologies. "R" format DVDs can be written once and read arbitrarily many times. "RW" format DVDs can be erased and rewritten multiple times. Both DVD R and DVD RW come in +/- formats. The essential difference between DVD +/-R and DVD +/-RW remains the same regardless of the + or -. But the DVD +R/RW is suitable for random access and improves compatibility with DVD players.
A DVDÂ RW is cost more and a DVDÂ R, and it takes longer to read and write information on a DVDÂ RW. However, the gap in price between DVDÂ R and DVDÂ RW is getting smaller all the time.
Another difference between DVDÂ RÂ and DVD RWÂ is compatibility. A DVDÂ R drive is an earlier model that is only capable of writing to DVDÂ R discs but not on DVDÂ RW discs. DVDÂ RW drives are backward compatible and are able to read and write to both DVDÂ R and DVDÂ RW discs.
AutoJoy DVD players all support DVD R and DVD RW formats. No matter DVD +/-RÂ or DVD +/-RW.
