If you've been shopping for blank CDs or blank DVDs recently (for DVD duplication or CD duplication), you may have found yourself a bit confused by all of the choices - CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW. Trying to figure out the abbreviations between them can be a bit mind racking indeed.

To make matters worse for those who aren't up on the lastest marvels of technology is the rate at which the industry of technology is evolving. Just when you think you've caught on to the concepts of MP3s and burning CD or burning DVD media, new twists on blank media hits the market and you found yourself confused more than you were to start with.

The "R" found in CD-R and DVD+/-R media stands for recordable (CD-R - recordable CD). It will tell consumers that these disks are blank recordable CDs. You can record movies, data, music, and photos on the CD, but the recorded CD cannot be erased.

The "RW" on CD-RW and DVD+/-RW media stands for rewritable (CD-RW - rewritable CD). This lets you know that CDs with RW on them can be recorded and erased several times. Even though the prices for blank CD and DVD media is inexpensive, you can expect to pay a bit more for RW type media.

The biggest source of confusion stems from DVD-R and DVD-RW and how they are different from DVD+R and DVD+RW media. In order to avoid a long technical speech on the differences, you simply need to know that each DVD types can record movies just like the next type.

DVD+R and DVD+RW are a newer more expensive technology that offers a few technical advantages over DVD-R and DVD-RW. None the less, DVD-R has greater compatibility with more DVD players than any other format of blank DVDs.

If you have a newer DVD player or if you use your computer to play duplicated DVDs, you should have no problems with DVD+R/DVD+RW media. Some say that they provide a better range of quality, although the quality is indeed similar.

Keep in mind that all recordable CD and recordable DVD media do the same thing regardless of their particular brand or extension. Because there is not an industry standard that involves DVD technology, not every DVD player is compatible with each and every format you see on retail store shelves.

For this very reason, you should always check with DVD player manual to see which type of recordable media it will play back. This way, you'll know what to buy the next time you go shopping for blank CD or DVD media.

It's important to realize from the start that the CD or DVD duplication and replication process is the same, regardless of content, as well as the differences between the CD duplication and replication process.

The duplication of CDs or DVDs refers to burned CDs (burned DVDs), such as the CD burner (DVD burner) with a personal computer.

The duplication of CDs has much faster turn times, simply because a stamp doesn't need to be made. The process of duplication can start as soon as the master is received, where the replication process doesn't start for 5 - 7 days, during which time a glass master and stamper must be made.
