Hi,

It explains the percentages of which is used the most, and has good explanations on other formats.

Thank you for your help.

How many dvd formats are avalible? Which is the most versatile?

The shortest most accurate answer...
DVD -R is the most common to the industry and the one most commonly used for commercial DVDs and their players (in the USA.)
DVD +R is the newer format, but can only be used by newer PCs and in only some commercial DVD players.
If you will ever be using the DVD in a PC built before 2010, stick with DVD -R!!
