   Howdy! Adam,   
      
    AG> @MSGID: <562E0302.1471.windowsb@capcity2.synchro.net>   
    AG> For writing DVD's on most computer DVDRW drives, use DVD+R.   
    AG> I've had no problems on PC's, laptops, and Apple computers with   
    AG> DVD+R discs. However, for some reason DVD-R discs don't seem to   
    AG> play nice on various kinds of drives.   
      
   After I put photos on a disk I made for someone I Finalize it so they   
   can see the photos.   
      
   Thanks for the comment about -R discs being troublesome, I've been   
   using either type and wanted to know if the - or + type DVD was better   
   for some purpose.   
      
   I'm glad I dragged my feet before buying this XP box in 2006, because   
   the Optical Drive in it can burn both - or + DVD's plus DL discs too.   
      
   I'd hate to be on the Bleeding Edge and had bought the original DVD   
   burner made for the - type disc only.   
      
   I try to stay away from the Bleeding Edge, but I was caught when I paid   
   $900+ for a HP 4c Scanner to use on a 486 computer w/ Windows 3.1   
   in the late 1990's.   
      
   I can buy more than a dozen All In One printers/scanners for that much   
   money now.   
      
   I do appreciate all those who purchased the early computer gear and   
   made life easier for the people who buy and use them now.
