I assume you are seeing the + and - on the label for the DVDs? The "DVD +R" is a new, high density format for DVDs. As far as I know they can't be read or written to in a "standard" DVD burner/reader. I think they require a drive specifically for DVD +R capability. Your best bet is to stick to standard DVD-Rs (or DVD-RW).
DVD-R and DVD-RW is analogous to CD-R and CD-RW, respectively.
The type of drive you are talking about is known as a "Super Drive." It will do what you want it to. I recommend www.pricewatch.com to find the best price.

I would like to install a DVD/CD ROM R/RW Burner/player in a Beige G3 but I
am confused about the + and - on labels and what they mean.
Can anyone tell me the difference and what my options are? I want to use the
same CDROM drive to play and write DVD as well as play/write/rewrite CD ROM.
Is this a possibility?
Thanks, Byron 1.0
