What is the Difference Between DVD+R and DVD-R Discs?
DVD-R
DVD-R is the most suitable media for burning when you want the absolute best in cross compatibility with older systems or dvd-video players. For example - if you're burning actual video files, or you're making a slideshow disc to play on a normal DVD player. Older computers and a lot of older DVD players will often only accept DVD-R discs.
DVD+R
DVD+R is the most suitable media to burn if you are archiving files. These discs have more error checking built in to the burn pattern and are therefore more tolerant of minor imperfections in the burn and the disc structure, so should in theory last even longer than DVD-R discs.
We use Taiyo Yuden (JVC) DVD Master Quality discs for burning all our scans to discs for clients. They are very very reliable and habitually come out on top of DVD media tests.
Jeremy’s knowledge of images and enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge were reassuring and we left feeling confident and excited to begin printing. Starting out on this unknown journey was definitely easier thanks to Jeremy and the friendly team at Image Science.........The team at Image Science have also helped us learn more about shipping. Businesses we deal with have been impressed by the quality of the packaging from image Science when they receive the prints via post.
