Default Is it possible to burn DVD+r as DVD-r ???

I have a DVD-r player. It does not take DVD+r disc. Is it possible to re-create the DVD+r as DVD-r ?

My DVD+/-RW burner supports dual layer. The software I use is 1Click DVD Copy v4.2

you just contridicted yourself, you said that it only accepts DVD-R, but then you said you have a DVD+/-RW DL burner...

my DVD-r player = standalone
my DVD+/- RW burner = part of my computer

2 separate things. My question is whether or not I could "copy" a DVD+r disc to a DVD-r disc using my DVD+/- RW burner.

you should be able to, i never actually tried it. And is the DVD full of music, home movies, or is it a retail movie?

surely the - and + of the disc is actually the disk. so it would be like turning water into wine.

could you not just buy some dvd-r media?

i think he means that he has a DVD-R disc, and he wants to make a copy of that but put it on a DVD+R, thats why i asked what was on the disc, if it was just data or music, you can copy those, but im not sure about video.

1. Read the question again
2. Actually you can burn a DVD+r as a DVD-r (but you cannot burn a DVD-r as a DVD+r).. the process is known as "adjusting the booktype" or "adjusting the bitsetting" and is used to increase the compatibility of DVD+r media (generally with standalones).. now there are several vendor-specific tools (which means u need to identify the make of your drive... Nero infotools, listed in QUESTIONS 101, can help).

- LiteOn
- BENQ
- Ricoh
etc
