Using Data DVD vs. Video DVD Disks

[megamachine]

After getting the contents of one of my DVDs to my hard drive using the DVD Decrypter Backup Guide (great guide, by the way), I want to burn it using Nero. In Japan, where I am spending the summer, blank DVD disks are sold as either Data DVD+R or Video DVD-R. Both are 4.7GB DVD disks. There are also DVD RAM disks. Since my burner works only with DVD+R/RW disks, my question is can I burn the resulting video files from the above guide onto a DVD+R *Data* disk? I`m also curious why this distinction, which I have not seen elsewhere, if anyone knows. With my best wishes.

Yes a regular DVD+R disc works fine for video. There is a special DVD-R version for encrypted video but you don't want that! Use regular data or general discs only.

That`s great, thanks very much for the reply. It was very helpful.
