Hi Gusthe lab, This link should give you some information on the formatshttp://www.dvdrw.com/ Long story short, almost link the Beta / VHS wars, Companies coming out with different formats, each trying to sell their ideas / products. There are some drive that will only write to one of the formats but now dual format drives are readly available. Dell has made the decision to factory install only the " + R/RW " media drives but they do have drives that you can purchase and install yourself from their web site. Many Members have simply pruchase a dual burner separately. A Google Search on the DVD burner will provide you with a number of hits.
Happy New Year
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the difference.
I have a dual + - burner and to tell you the truth all the media both + and - , r and rw have played in my home dvd player and it is a off brand player as is my dual burner. So unless you have a old dvd player you should be able to play whatever you use.
