thru out my years of playing with computers, i have read many articles on
what lead up to the current day optical disk and drives from their first
concept during early 70's when i built my first computer, an s100 system.
there has been little change from original, but a whole lot of improvement.
instead of trying to explain, i believe it would be easier to understand if
you rely on the informative from
wikipedia.org as it is too much to try to
condense in a post.
the drive;

the disk;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_disc
types of disk;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Optical_storage_media
use last link to locate info for the various disk types.
i woke up a couple hours ago and thought i would do some searching for
dvd-r and dvd+r, both drives and disks.
nothing new, dvd+r still has a different/better format than dvd-r. :-)
also did some searching on drives to find that with today's newer drives,
there is a greater availability of drives with combinations of r/w, -r/+r,
as well as 'dual layer', blu-ray and hd.
so, if you go with a new drive, note what type it is and that you can still
use disks that you have.
as for disk media, it seems that better quality disks are still from
japan.
