DVD-R in a DVD+RW

[leonb]

Hi

I went to the computerstore this morning to ask what kind of dvd writers they stock, and about the availability of media. They only stock DVD+RW drives and have no +R/RW media (still waiting). BUT the guy told me that the Memorex (specifically) DVD-R media can be used on the DVD+RW drive. I told him that this can not be possible, but he insisted that it does work.

Is this possible? How?


PS. The drive is a Freecom.
