DVD Media

[Grebe]

Im looking into backing up my computer and i wasnt sure whether dvd media allows you to hold normal files such as mp3, avi, word documents etc, or whether it just lets you write actual dvd's to them.

If someone could help me that would be great.

You can back up files to dvd media. I think you can get just under 5GB on single layer dvd and 8.5GB on dual layer.

What are the dvd-R and the DVD+R about?

[Lammie]

Once upon a time certain brands of DVD Recorders would only record to either DVD+R or DVD-R. Nowdays you'd be hard pressed to find one that doesnt do both.

I think that's right...

I dont think there is a differnece between them tbh, just different formats.
