• DVD+RW (rewritable DVD with support for lossless linking to prevent buffer under-
run)
• DVD+R (recordable DVD)
Early rewritable DVD drives supported either DVD-RW or DVD+RW, but recent DVD
rewritable drives support DVD+/-R/RW media, and so-called “Super Multi” drives using
an LG-designed drive mechanism add support for DVD-RAM media as well. As a result,
you can now choose the best DVD media for the task.
DVD rewritable drives support all of these media types.
