for dvd's and cds the "RW" stands for re-writable, "R" is just read, or read-write... basically you can keep recoring over "RW's"... same with your DVD/CD drive, and DVD-RW drive will read and write dvds, a DVD-R drive just reads... any more questoins??

a DVD+R is a one time use thing, you can burn whateva you want onto it, but you can't put it back into the computer and burn over it. But with a DVD+RW you can put it back in and re-write over something and keep reusing the DVD.

Thats the differance. any more questions about them?

^ They both play on DVD players equally, the only differance is what i said before, the writing factors.

just to let you know, the RW's after about 5 rewrites start losing quality. so you cant just rewrite forever on them.

Uh you said yourself... "Whats the differance??"

so fucking lay off bro. somebody tried to help you out to the best of their knowledge and you fucking chew them out for no reason.

Them not burning properly? Thats something on your end. Trying D/L DVD Architect 2.0 its pretty nice.

Your Welcome......
