DVD-R or DVD+R - Which One Is Better?

DVD-R or DVD+R - Which One Is Better? The capacity of both DVD-R and DVD+R is the same - 4.7GB. So, why do DVD+R and DVD-R coexist?

Originally, Computer DVD Drives were either +R or -R

Many years ago your computer’s DVD drive would have been either +R or –R. In the last several years every recordable drive has been cross-compatible to be able to use either/or.

Some people have always used +R media and prefer to stick with it so we offer both types for DVD Printing and DVD Duplicating / DVD Burning.

Remember this simple rule to know which DVD you need:

- for Video
If it's for video (with a first play, menu etc.) you should select DVD-R
+ for Pictures
If the use will be for images, data files etc. (not Video) then you can select DVD+R media OR if you are not sure, select DVD-R as this is the most common of all.

What are the different CD types?

There are several types of CDs (Compact Discs) available. These CD types vary in terms of their storage capacity, usage, and compatibility with different devices. Here are the most common types of CDs:

Audio CD (CD-DA): The standard audio CD format used for storing music tracks. These CDs can play on most CD players and audio systems.

CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory): This type of CD is used for storing computer data, software, and multimedia content. CD-ROMs can't be written on or modified; they are read-only discs.

CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable): CD-Rs are write-once discs that can be burned with data, audio, or video content. Once data is recorded on a CD-R, it cannot be erased or overwritten. These are the types of CDs that we use for duplication OR provide to our customers to allow them to duplicate or record their own content on.

What is the difference between long run and short run CD Duplication?

08/03/2023 - 12:56pm

The main difference between long-run and short-run CD duplication lies in the number of CDs produced.

Short-run CD duplication refers to producing a small number of CDs, typically up to a thousand copies. This method is more cost effective for smaller projects or when a limited number of CDs is needed. Additionally, short-run duplication is ideal when time constraints are at hand. Typically, short-run CD Duplication can be achieved in a matter of days compared with replication which takes weeks.
