I've recently acquired some software for putting digital photos onto a DVD so it can be played on a TV. I've burnt the project to a DVD RW but when I try to play it in my DVD players , incorrect disc comes up. Do I need to put it on a DVD +R or -R disc?

It must be the opposite type to the one you used, mustn't it? I've just had a look at mine (Asda's best £69 DVD Recorder) and it says DVD +R.

+ or - is the same, but = will be just fine, easier to find and cheaper without losing anything. Just don't use rewritable ones on your DVD player, just on your PC and not even there lol throw the dvdr-w away as they aren't reliable, one day you have the data one day you don't have it. BTW to burn DVD photos, try picasa, it's free but you will be surprized how it'll compare to whatever software you purchased. You can get it from here http://www.sleekbytes.com/picasa-google.htm

DVD+Rs aren’t technically DVDs; they’re a competing format (see http://www.dvdforum.org for details). Most new DVD players handle both formats, but if you want to be certain it will work in pretty much any DVD player, you should stick to genuine DVDs, and that means DVD-R. (DVD±RW will also work in some DVD players, but certainly not all.)
