Offcially DVD-RWs can be writed "100" times. but in reality 49 Times is the limit. after that the DVD-RW will start to get unstable. Data is writted on Aluminum plate (foil) write too much and it'll start to loose it's charm. it'll die taking your data as well! IMO, 5 times is enough. after that, it's advisable to just get a New Media rather than save few bucks.

Just five times isnt that a little less? i would say 20 times is ok.

Read my post, you can do it upto 49 Times, but you really shouldn't. your data can go boom just like that.

LOL, i am confused, are you asking about company? or format? there's only DVD-RW availble (no DVD+RW anyway) if you're asking about company, then i guess it's Sony. however, DVD-RWs cost is bit on high side. typically a DVD-R costs Rs.25, and a DVD-RW costs Around Rs.75:)
