I would think that as long as you have a drive that supports both media types, you will be fine....nothing is encoded differently, its only the media thats dufferent......

It should be able to do it. The media your using might not work with your drive.Welcome to the forum by the way.

the +/- has nothing to do with the encoding, and everything to do with the media you use (disks and burners). As long as you are using a burner that can read and write+/- and burner +/-, you will be fine
