I have 2 DVD-ROM and one Pioneer A03. The DVD-RW I wrote were only readable by both DVD-ROM only after first write. When I try to read a DVD-RW that has been written twice, I get "no medium found" error on both DVD-ROM. So DVD-R may be compatible with many drives but DVD-RW are not. This is an example of report that can be very easily biased. Maybe it is the same for DVD+RW disks, they are only readable after first write, and the person who tested has used new DVD-RW but old DVD+RW.
