The R's mean that you can write data only once, and from begining to end. That basically means that if you want to write data again on the cd, you will have to reformat it, which means that u will have to erase all the stuff on it first.\n\nThe Rw's mean that you can burn a disc, then go back and add or insert data in it without acutally having to delete evrything on their previously\n\nthe + and - symbols indicate the type of formatting, the most common supported form is the '-' symbol, however many programs (including microsoft, apple, nullsoft, and megapixis) support the '+' formatting. In all honestly the formatiing shouldnt even matter, as most if not companies try to support as many as possible.

DVD +R DVD -R DVD+RW DVD-RW\n\nthe diffrence between a +R and a -R is when coming to record a dvd movie... the +r comes out with a slight better quality then - R thought it is only noticable on a LCD Screen\n\nThere is also +RW and -RW same as above but they can be rewritten on

The only physical difference between the formats is the way they determine the location of the laser beam on the disc. DVD-RW/R discs use tiny marks along the grooves in the discs, called land prepits, to determine the laser position. DVD+RW/R discs do not have land prepits, but instead measure the "wobble frequency" as the laser moves toward the outside of the disc.\n\nHowever, most companies have hybrid DVD drives that support both DVD-R and DVD+R formats. They are known as DVD±R or DVD±RW drives. \n\nWhen looking for media for a DVD drive, make sure it ends in "-R" if a DVD-R drive or "+R" if a DVD+R drive.\n \nIf 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.

Wav file is universal/computer format, CDA is the actual format on CD. To get that format, you need a burner that writes CDs with Phillips red book (industry) standards. Those are very pricey.

DVD+R and DVD+RW\nDVD+R and DVD+RW formats are supported by Philips, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha and others. \n\nDVD+R is a recordable DVD format similar to CD-R. A DVD+R can record data only once and then the data becomes permanent on the disc. The disc can not be recorded onto a second time. \n\nDVD+RW is a re-recordable format similar to CD-RW. The data on a DVD+RW disc can be erased and recorded over numerous times without damaging the medium. \n\nDVDs created by a +R/+RW device can be read by most commercial DVD-ROM players. \n Key Terms To Understanding DVD Formats\nDVD\nShort for digital versatile disc or digital video disc, a type of optical disk technology similar to the CD-ROM. \n\nDVD-Video \nA video format for displaying full-length digital movies. \n\nDVD-ROM \nA type of read-only compact disc that can hold a minimum of 4.7GB (gigabytes), enough for a full-length movie. \n\nburn\nSlang term meaning to write data to a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.\n\nDivx\nShort for Digital video express, a new DVD-ROM format promoted by several large Hollywood companies.

Current CD-ROM players use an invisible-light infrared laser with a wavelength of 780 nanometers.\n\nHowever, as another poster mentioned, this varies especially in RW drives.

A cd-r/w will only copy cd/r and cd/rw ..It sounds as if you only have a dvd player--not a dvd writer installed on your system..you can copy the two types of cd's,though

that means the it will read the + disks and also the - disks and also means that will will burn + & -, when you go and buy your DVD Disk to make copies or what ever it will say like DVD+R or DVD-R that means just about any disk that you get or buy it will work in that DVD + / - , hope this helped :-)

DVD and CD-ROM are not the same technology, and not only due to layering. The methodologies of storing and reading data is different. It's complicated to explain, and probalbly not what you are after. \n\nThe net effect is that from the layman's perspective, the only difference between a data CD and a data DVD is in the amount of space available.\n\nThe + and - signs indicate the type of technology used for a DVD drive. The two are not compatable; you need DVD+R discs for a DVD+R drive and a DVD-R drive needs DVD-R discs. \n\nYou can find out the kind of drive you have by right-clicking My Computer, choosing the Hardware tab, clicking the Device Manager button, then clicking the plus sign next to the DVD-CD drives entry. Your drive will be listed like "_NEC DVD+R 8X MFD34322" or the like.\n\nYou'll probably be happier with DVD discs for backup because you'll need fewer. However, considering how cheap external USB 2 hard drives are, and that DVDs still cost 50 cents each, you should consider investing in an external hard drive instead.

CD: Compact Disc, which us like a cassette but can hold alot more song and you can use it on your computer as well as car, dvd player and cd player.\n\nVCD: Video Compact Disc and basically it's a CD that contains moving pictures and sound, so songs plus videos.\n\nDVD: Digital Versatile Disk. (Formerly Digital Video Disk.) Same size as a CD but stores seven times CD capacity on a single side. DVDs can also be double-sided or dual layer. Today most DVDs are used to display full-length commercial motion pictures, plus additional material such as outtakes, director's notes, movie trailers, etc.\n\nI don't know what ACD is but i'm guessing another format like CD or DVD, hope that helped!\n~Ruj x

How about if it's CD-R. Beyond that I don't know.

Hi Beautiful,\nOnly if you are using a CD RW and a burner that is capable of it. \nYou have to go through a process called finalizing so as to use a CD-RW on player that you did not burn the CD from and you have to unfinalize the CD to rewrite it.
