Hello,

I’m planning to buy a DVD writer… or maybe I’ll wait 'till the dual layer writer comes out… anyway, my question is, what is the real difference between DVD- and DVD+ discs? Is there going to be a standard one day or is this the solution “they” came up with?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but are movies on orginal DVDs (you know, the ones you buy in a shop) DVD-?

:crazy: Thanks!
