Apologies for what must seem like a really dumb question, but I was wondering if I extract video from a DVD+R disc on my PC (using DVD shrink for example) can I edit it and then burn that video to a DVD-R disc ? Also, someone told me that DVD+R recorders are better than DVD-R recorders because you can hit the pause button while recording to DVD+R and then recommence recording, but if you pause recording on a DVD-R recorder, it will close the session and nothing more can be recorded to the disc...is that true ? Kind thanks for any information. Luke
Howdy there luke, welcome to aD - The difference between a DVD-R and a DVD+R is only that the disc itself is a better disc. It has no bearing as to what is on the disc. If it's a +R or -R just copy the disc to your HD and burn to whatever. I've never heard anything of the kind. What you're describing would be a function of the recorder and not anything to do with your media - Here's a link to help you with all your DVD questions, it's called DVD's Demystified, everything you want to know about DVD's - http://dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html#4.3 cheers, Pete
