About DVD+RW/+R
Your new DVD ReWritable drive supports the DVD+RW/+R format which
offers many unique advantages over the competition. DVD+RW/+R has been
designed from the start to be compatible with DVD drives and DVD Video
players both physically as well as logically. What this means is that
DVD+RW/+R discs recorded on a DVD+RW/+R recorder can be played on
virtually all DVD players, and data DVD’s can be played on all DVD-ROM
drives.
With industry wide support from major manufacturers from the DVD+RW
Alliance, you’re assured that your DVD format will be virtually compatible
everywhere in the world. What this means is that your DVD+RW/+R disc that
you wrote, will be playable on your friend’s DVD player. Sharing home movies
and files couldn’t be easier. Some distinct advantages that DVD+RW/+R
format provides include:
Lossless Linking
DVD+RW/+R Lossless Linking
technology is built within the basic
specification of the system. This means
that you can stop the writing process at
any given point, and then resume the
writing of data, or it can replace
individual sectors on the disc at any
given location. This distinctive Lossless
Linking technology keeps the gap
between data within 1 micron when
adding/editing data. This results in the
writing of sectors on the disc that
remain fully compatible with existing
DVD-ROM drives and even the more
critical DVD-Video players in case you
are creating a DVD-Video disc. Lossless Linking allows for high performance
drag-'n-drop applications like packet writing.
Defect Management
DVD+RW/+R incorporates a Defect Management System by default which
was designed to be 100% invisible to existing drives and players, so that the
discs can be read as if they were normal DVD-ROM or DVD-Video discs.
