Thumbs up

You will be fine for data storage (photo’s etc) Christine.

For pc use either is just as suitable.

DVD- and DVD+ are essentially the modern equivalent of VHS/Betamax. However unlike the video battle, DVD- and DVD+ operate in much the same way and will work in the same equipment.

DVD- is the ‘official’ format, with DVD+ being the outsider so to speak (and technically should not even be called a DVD). As a result, the only significant difference is that if you are into playing the resulting DVD on a standalone player (as attached to a tv), you will find slightly greater compatibility with a DVD-.

Cheers,
Steve
