Basically, most DVD drives support DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW. DVD R DL is a derivative of the DVD R format, which stands for dual layer and offers nearly double storage capacity. DVD R discs can record once and are not erasable, while DVD RW discs allow you to rewrite and erase data multiple times.
There are 2 main types of DVD formats for burning movies, either come in R or RW. Obviously, DVD-ROM can’t burn a movie to DVD, and DVD-RAM discs are now less commonly used. Require compatible software and codec to play on the computer May be incompatible with some specific DVD players
