Answer 3

the simplest way to answer this is a DVDR is a writable DVD or in other words a burn once disk.
A DVD-RW is a DVD rewritable disk wich allows you to burn images onto the disk then earse the image to burn another image onto it. I perfer DVD-RW disks for making backups of files i change a lot... I use DVDR's for makeing one time only disks...aka video coppy, pictures, and other media stuff.
