[LM_NET] TECH: Difference between DVD-R & DVD+R

[Tony Pope <pope1966@ATT.NET>]

I had an old 16mm film that w
Our Tech guru is even stumped on this...

I had an old 16mm film that was made of our school back in the early 50's converted 
to a DVD.  It has been saved on a DVD-R disc.  While trying to make copies, I used 
some DVD's (DVD+R) that I purchased at Wal-mart and I could not get the DVD to 
copy...trying three different computers.  While I cannot say that I have copied 
this specific DVD before, I know for sure I have copied another DVD I had made from 
a 16mm film for my old elem. school that I attended.  I'm positive I used the same 
type of blank DVD's and did not have any problem.  

Each time we tried to burn a copy of the original DVD on a DVD-R disc to a DVD+R 
disc, we got an error.  When we checked the DVD+R disc it would show that the DVD+R 
disc was full...even though it was a blank disc.  Finally, our tek guru took the 
DVD to work and then to home and he was able to get the DVD-R to copy to a DVD-R 
disc.

Anyone know what's up with this?  Even he was stumped and couldn't figure it 
out...which makes me feel a little better....ha...  I don't remember having this 
problem when I made a copy of the other school's DVD...but when I put that DVD in I 
would automatically get a prompt to copy....with this one...no such prompt.

Thanks,
