Do I understand this correctly? A Produplicator can copy from a DVD-R disc to a DVD+R disc, and likewise can copy from a DVD+R disc to a DVD-R disc?

Yes, I believe it accepts all DVD's, including RW and MDisc for permanent archival copies. I have not had a disc rejected yet. It's a great little machine.

Yes I have done it. I have been told that a finalized +/- are the same. I have not been able to determine what is the difference between a plus and a dash DVD except that a plus has some encoding that a dash does not. that is why my computer takes app 15 min to copy a plus and 15 to 20 min to do a dash.

They are the same quality but different format (DVD-R vs DVD+R). DVD+R are usually faster when being written on. I prefer to use +R in any of my disc purchases, but there is no huge difference. I have a higher burn success rate with +R discs as opposed to -R which for me personally fail more often.

The first one is of the DVD-R type, while the second one is of the DVD+R type. Functionally, there's no difference between them, as long as your DVD burner can read/write to both types of discs.There are apparently some potential compatibility issues on DVD players, if you're planning to burn video DVDs, so you may want to read the information below and also look at your DVD player's manual to make sure it can play whichever type you plan to purchase. (Chances are good that it can play both types.)Section 4.3.6 of the DVD FAQ is probably the most helpful one:"[4.3.6] Which recordable DVD format should I buy?As explained in the previous sections, there are two main formats: "dash" (DVD-R/RW) and "plus" (DVD+R/RW). There's not much difference between them. They both record data and video, and they both read back data and play back video. Both formats are available as recordable drives for computers and as home video recorders. In spite of claims that one format is more compatible with players and drives, both formats are similarly compatible (see 4.3.1). There are speed differences, but it's a game of leapfrog. One format will come out with faster write speeds, then the other one will match it or surpass it. 16x is the theoretical maximum speed, so the latest drives from both formats are close to the limit."

Hi, no, it will not copy these type of discs you are mentioning as it will have a copy protection added on the disc.

We only use -R discs and can copy the DVD's w/o problem. We also know that the copies can't be altered.

what is the "copy" function? Do I put in a dvd, select copy, then put in a blank dvd and copy to it?

Thank you for your interest in our products. You have to finalize you MP3 disc in order for the duplicator to copy the contents by using a 3rd party burning software on your computer.

I have no experience with this specific machine, but the Emerson DVD recorder/VCR which I had and functioned would allow the recording from VCR tapes to DVD and vice versa. I can also tell you that the machine I had was the first DVD recorder I ever bought and it outlasted five other machines. When it ceased to function as a recorder it allowed me to finalize all partially filled discs I had recorded on it and still will play recorded, finalized dvds. When the VCR portion of the machine I had ceased to perform in the VCR capacity I found that I could input from another VCR and then record from the tapes to discs on the Emerson DVD recorder. Hope this helps.

There are two types, I don't know the difference between them but when I got my MAC I was told to use the DVD-R and it work great But I like the Printable disk because I can find the pictures I want . I put one or three photos plus the file number and title on the front. I have over 1000 disk I go through. From about 2001 .

I believe the +DVD version includes DVD Architect. I'm not sure if you need DVD Architect to make a DVD, or if it just provides a few extra features when burning to a DVD. I think you need DVD Architect if you are planning on burning BlueRay discs.

Bud Bundy is right, it is personal preference and also what works best if you intend on playing recorded disks on another player. I use the -R and -RW disks, because this format is more compatible with most DVD players - especially if you have an older one you want to play your recordings on. Eventhough the -R can only be recorded once, I'll use it for things I want to keep and have no intention of recording over. The -RW I use for everyday use and a good quality disk is supposed to allow you at least 2000 recordings. I hear Verbatims are very good quality, but I've been using Maxell & Memorex , because that's what I had on hand. Has worked excellent for me.

What is the difference between the DVD-R and DVD+R formats? Answer: DVD-R (pronounced "DVD dash R") and DVD+R (pronounced "DVD plus R") are nearly identical formats. The discs look the same and are both supported by most DVD-ROM drives and DVD burners. The only difference between the formats is the way they determine the location of the laser beam on the disc. DVD-R discs use tiny marks along the grooves in the discs, called land prepits, to determine the laser position. DVD+R discs do not have land prepits, but instead measure the "wobble frequency" as the laser moves toward the outside of the disc. The DVD-R format was developed by Pioneer and was released in the second half of 1997. DVD+R was developed by Sony and Philips and was introduced in 2002. Companies that support DVD-R include Pioneer, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Panasonic, while companies that support DVD+R include Sony, Philips, Hewlett-Packard, Ricoh, and Yamaha. However, most of these companies now develop hybrid DVD drives that support both DVD-R and DVD+R formats. They are known as DVD?R or DVD?RW drives. When looking for media for your DVD drive, make sure it ends in "-R" if you have a DVD-R drive or "+R" if you have a DVD+R drive. If you have a DVD?R drive, you can use either format. DVD-R is still more popular than DVD+R, but since they are both widely supported, it should not matter which format you choose.

DVD Shrink highly compresses video sometimes to the point it will look bad when being upconverted because it is lowering the quality too much trying to shrink a 8-9 gb dvd onto a 4.7gb dvd.I wouldn't jump to blame that on the player. How does it play professional quality dvd's?DVD+R copies made a 100% resolution? then you can compare

So far I have only copied CD-Rs. It looks like it only duplicates DVD-Rs with data only as well. Not sure about cd+g.
