radman2020 Posted October 17, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted October 17, 2012 Share 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 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Normally it's round the other way... DVD-R will hold more than DVD+R (and DVD+RW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I knew it was one of those ways around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
