When DVD burners first starting coming out, nobody could agree upon a standard format, hence why you end up with some people supporting DVD+R and other people supporting DVD-R.

There are 4 "codes" on dvd's for different parts of the world....1,2,3,and4. These are for North America, Latin America (including Mexico), Europe, and Asia. A DVD made in Mexico cannot be played on a DVD player manufactured n the United States, unless it has Muticoded tracks on it. I live in Mexico. When i buy DVDs here, I must be sure they are encoded for both Mexican and United States DVD players. Learned this from a salesman in the video department
at Sam's. The code markings on the back of the box are very difficult to find, so I check with the salesman before purchasing one.

Because you have DVD-R and DVD-RW some DVD players might not play DVD-RW
