DVD+RW Alliance

The DVD+RW Alliance is a voluntary group of technology companies that promote the "plus" recordable and re-writable Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) formats. The group seeks to develop and promote a universally compatible, rewriteable DVD format to enable true convergence between personal computing and consumer electronics products. As of right now, the DVD+RW Alliance supports the following recordable and re-writable DVD formats..

The group touts what it sees as advantages over the recordable "dash" formats backed and developed by the DVD Forum (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-R DL, DVD-RAM) such as having only one recording mode that is fully compatible with the DVD-Video format and advanced features that can be performed while using DVD+RW media with DVD recorders. The DVD+RW Alliance works in two separate groups, DVD+RW Product Promotions Group and DVD+RW Compatibility and Convergence Group.
