Definition: DVD+RW is a recordable and rewritable format promoted primarily by Philips, with a host of partners, including Yamaha, HP, Ricoh, Thomson (RCA), Mitsubishi, APEX, and Sony. Claims to offer a greater degree of compatibility with current DVD technology than DVD-RW.
The DVD+RW format is also the easiest to use, in terms of basic recording, as DVD+RW discs do not need to be finalized at the conclusion of the recording process in order to play in another DVD player. This is due to the DVD+RW finalization process being performed during the actual recording process itself.
Pronunciation: DVD Plus RW
Also Known As: DVD+Rewritable, DVD+ Rewritable
