So basically to transfer all my Big Brother files to discs I've been using DVD-RW'S- suprinsingly these work in blu-ray players so I can watch BB5-11 on my tv
 However I have a load of DVD-R's stored somewhere and wondered if they are the same as DVD-RW's and can I use them as discs to store files on? Help would be much appreciated

*data disc* may be a more understandable name?

DVD-R
DVD-Rs store digital data onto a disc. The information is engraved into one or both sides of the disc by a laser, depending on whether the disc is double sided. DVD-R is best for storing data that never changes. DVD-RW DVD-RW also stores digital data engraved by a laser. The DVD-RW format allows the user to erase and rewrite data, whereas this is not possible on the DVD-R. According to Pioneer, the developer of the DVD-RW, a user can rewrite data on a DVD-RW about 1,000 times. DVD-RW are best for storing home video recordings and backups of data that changes frequently because they are rewritable. DVD-RW is also a good choice for storing data collections that get larger over time, such as photographs. There is a significant difference in cost - DVD-RW are (roughly) 2-4 times dearer than DVD-R, so, if you are only going to record once and then file the DVD, R is the cheaper format There is a significant difference in recording speed - Typically, DVD-RW records at 4x, whereas DVD-R records at up to 16x, so, if you going to record lots of DVDs, R is the faster format I buy Verbatim DVD-Rs at, roughly, Ł15 per 100 and DVD-RWs at (roughly) Ł50 per 100 Last edited by Omah; 08-06-2012 at 10:54 AM. |

I would like to record more on DVD-R but i prefer using external HD because you can store more and don't have to mess around with a million cd's and organizing them etc etc.
I think it's better just to buy a good external HD with lots of space.

Yes you can use them as a data disc, but only once.
