radman2020 Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 My software, Phantom burner, creates iso files. It asks the type of disk and the only choice is DVD+RW. These ISO files seem to burn fine to my DVD-R disks using IMGbrn... but I wanted to make sure I am not missing anything. thx.
dbminter Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 About the only possible problem could be that DVD+RW might store slightly larger capacity than DVD-R. I'm not sure what the maximum capacities for each are, but, I believe + stores slightly more. However, a rewritable might store less because of overhead it needs to be a rewritable. Anyway, this would only come into play if you've written almost all of the available space on the DVD+RW. ImgBurn, though, should tell you if the ISO you're attempting to write to DVD-R is too large for the target media. If you've had no problems writing the DVD+RW source ISO to DVD-R, I don't think you'll encounter any problems other than the possible scenario above.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Normally it's round the other way... DVD-R will hold more than DVD+R (and DVD+RW)
