Hey folks,
I am a tad new to the concept of DVD RW media, so I'd like to ask some questions. I have a sony VAIO desktop (Windows XP SP2) with a DVD+-RW drive, and I'm looking to buy some media (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817132036) for it so I can burn and delete movies onto the same disk. I'm using DVD Santa (http://www.dvdsanta.com/) to burn all my movies onto disks. Now, once I burn files onto the disks, do I need a special program to erase them from the disk, or can I just do it right through Windows (My Computer -> DVD+- Drive -> Delete Files)? Also, I've always wandered, what does the (+-) symbol mean in DVD+-RW etc? Would anyone also be able to suggest a marker or pencil of some sort that I can write on these disks and then easily erase so I can label the next piece of media that I burn onto them?
Really appreciate your enlightenment guys,
Phil
