Need Info on DVD Writers

I just ordered a new Dell 4550 system and opted for the 4X DVD+R/RW CD-RW Combo Drive. I am new to this technology and would like info on a website that would explain the different DVD formats and media that are available. Thanks

Well since you got a +RW drive you have to use + media, DVD-(R)W discs won't work. According to all the sites I looked at both are compatible enough that 'most' DVD players should read them, but my laptop drive wouldn't read +RW discs so I returned it for a -RW drive and it works fine.
