Answer 1

Hi Justin,

Yes, that means you can burn DVDs using either regular or (RW) rewritable media.

You might also check and see if it says +R, -R or +/-R anywhere. That would tell you what kind of media you need.

The DVD+R and DVD-R are competing formats much like the old VHS and Beta formats in video tapes. Today most drives are Hybrid and handle both formats. They are usually labeled DVD+/-R  If you can't find a +R or-R designation your drive the safest bet is -R media. The DVD-R format has been in use since 1997, it has had a five-year lead on DVD+R. As such, older or cheaper DVD players (up to 2004 vintage) are more likely to favor the DVD-R standard exclusively, and when creating DVD’s for distribution (where the playing unit is unknown or older) the DVD-R format would normally be preferable.
