Re: Can Macs read DVD +R disks ?
Neither my Pismo 400 (10.3.7 nor my iMac SE 400 graphite (10.3.7) will read DVD +R disks...I have burned many on my son's Gateway and Dell machines but they will not read in either Mac system. If I want to use them with the Macs, I have to put them in my external LaCie DVD burner (a Pioneer 105D)unit to be able to watch them..

Can Macs read DVD +R disks ?
My sister is planning to send me a DVD with a couple hundred photos/Jpegs on it. She has a PC (poor gal) and has to burn to DVD +R disks. I can only burn to DVD -R's on my Powerbook. My question is, even though I can't burn to a DVD+R disk, would the Powerbook be able to recognize and read it ? I called the local Mac store and the fellow said once the data is burned to the DVD, it is readable on a Mac but he didn't sound too sure about it. Does anybody here have a definitive answer on this ? Thanks, Amber -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Can Macs read DVD +R disks ?
Yes you should be able to, I have burnt some +R discs and they are readable on my iBook. *However*, not all +R discs may work, a +R disc is apparently readable in 80% of dvd drives whilst -R is readable in drives. The general rule of thumb is that recent computers should be able to read pretty much any format, but if one doesn't work try different a brand of +R discs is the first brand doesn't work.
