As with everything else, there isn't just one single worldwide standard for (re-)writable disks, be it for CD or DVD. There are a few competing standards which carry designations like
DVD-R,
DVD-RW,
DVD+R,
DVD+RW,
DVD-RAM, etc. Which of these is the better standard is debatable and not really important. What
is important, is that if you want to burn movies or music on CD or DVD on your computer and play them on your DVD player, you must make sure the DVD player supports the type of disk you are burning. The specifications of a DVD player will always list which disks it can handle.
