Ricoh MP 5125A ... operation and compatibility. DVD+RW is a direct descendant of CD-R/RW and has been promoted by the DVD+RW Alliance, formed by companies that have played a central role in the promotion of CD-R/RW. With a large storage capacity of 4.7GB, DVD+RW supports stress-free fast writing and free appending/editing even after data has been recorded. Now Ricoh has added support for the DVD+R feature, a write-once format just like CD-R. With its excellent compatibility, recorded DVD+R media can be read or played by almost all the DVD-ROM drives and DVD players.

DVD+RW is well suited to applications where data may need to be freely overwritten in everyday use, such as for storing data or making DVD-videos, and can be used for almost all applications. On the other hand, DVD+R has been developed for those instances where important data should never be erased or data is to be distributed/exchanged and compatibility is extremely important. While keeping data from being erased or overwritten, the disks share a high level of compatibility because of its physical specifications that are basically the same as DVD-ROM disks.
