>From what I can tell, DVD- is much less problematic specially in dual
format writers. The only exception is the Plextor 708 which at least
had bad DVD-RW media support so not even high quality DVD-RW Media from
Pioneer did work.
But hey this night, I had to modifiy cdrecord in order to get a DVD+RW
medium back from the zombies. It had been formatted with the Plextor 708
and was readable by this drive but it did totally hang up a Ricoh-5125.
After adding some tricks, I finally was able to make it work again in the
Ricoh after I did run cdrecord -force blank=fast
