    Maybe this is a dumb question, but can I backup my +R disks to a -R disk and vice versa?

    Of coarse. The easiest way would be DVD Decrypter ISO read mode, then ISO write mode.

    Hi there,

    If you have a pretty new burner, it should burn both formats

    DVD-R and DVD+R

    If your burner is a few years old, be carefull, it might burn just DVD-R or just DVD+R.

    You can get all the info on your burner with tools like VSO Inspector, DVDInfoPro etc...

    My burner will support both formats, I just wasn't sure if they could "talk" to one another, since they're opposites (you know, the 1's and 0's).

    the 1' and 0's should get along quite well.

    Thanks very much for your help! Have a good long weekend! (Whoops! Assuming you're in North America: USA July 4, Canada July 1) If no, well, try tipping one just because it's summer...

    Thanks again.
