ok...i am new at using forums but i hope to fine an answer as to why my hp laptop(using xp) with a dvd/cdrw will playback dvd-r disc and not dvd+r dics......?

it might be bacuse either your drive does not read those discs or because the dvd content if a movie is in the wrong format it is either ntsc(U.S) pal(everywhere else) even though most players playback both depending on how old your laptop is it might only play one
