It is just a DVD-R, but there is a RW logo on the front.
I noticed these DVD's dont get read by my powerbook....What is this RW?
A format of some sort?

RW stands for re-write.

What do u mean your PowerBook is not capable to read this format of media??

Apple/Mac OS X supports DVD-R and RW formats.

[Art Vandelay]

The OS supports DVD-RW but not all SuperDrives support DVD-RW. The SuperDrive in the 15" Titanium PowerBook does not support DVD-RW but the SuperDrive in the 15" Aluminum PowerBook does.

Its not Rewritable
It says single record right beside it......
I have the 15" Al Superdrive

[Sarc]

then they sold you a simple-as-they-come DVD-R, for the price of a DVD-RW

[Daracle]

I dont think it is that...
If I could post pictures somewhere, As I dont have a .mac account, I would show you guys what I mean....

There was a 5 pack, 2 different colors of packaging but from the same company, one pack had the RW logo and one didnt. Both have single use written on them....

I will try and search where I can host some pics to post

That disc seems to be a +R/RW disc. If the packaging has RW written on it that identifies it as the + format. Some macs will not read +R/RW discs, only -R/RW. The -R/RW package will have DVDR written on it (if I remember correctly). Hope this helps.

That helps....I know to stay away from those now...
