There are a few different types of DVD media. DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD+R.

I have a DVD-RW recorder and it cannot read or record onto DVD+RW media.
I have a DVD+RW burner in my computer and it cannot read or write to DVD-RW media.

It makes things complicated. The newer of the two is DVD+R/RW and it is important that you do a little research and learn what will work and what will NOT work with your DVD-R.
