DVD±RW compatibility chart for different speeds (media/writer combinations)
 
  • Rule of thumb: look for the highest RW speed the writer can do.
  • Don't confuse "recordable" ±R DVDs with "rewritable" ±RW DVDs. This is about "rewritable" DVDs only.
  • Since most modern writers/recorders can handle both + and - formats, they only appear once in this chart. Please check whether you have a +RW, -RW or a ±RW device to ensure you use the right DVD media.
