I'm new to DVD burning. Is one DVD type (DVD-R/DVD+R/DVD+RW ....)
better than another for data storage, say vs. used for music?
Why so many types?
TIA

I'm puzzled. Can you not find this information on the internet?

Go to google and post your question there. This has already been
answered a gadzillion times (maybe more) and there are numerous
sites set up to answer all your questions and a few you didn't want
to ask.

For example:

Really all depends on the players in your house as well. Some players
won't play +R where others will. I have 2 players in the house that are
like that. They only play -R media. The other 2 in the house play
anything and everything.

One isn't necessarily *better* than the other. They are just used for
different things. I personally use +R for storage and -R for movies and
such like that. +RW is rewriteable where as -R/+R is NOT rewriteable.

Sorry everyone else took the time to reply, but refused to answer your
question. I know that's got to be frustrating.
