Part of the problems I have been having with DVD seems to be related to
using DVD+R media. While DVD+R burn without error message, they don't
work in most readers. And since locally they are cheaper and burn much
faster, I would like to have a way to save time and money using them.
This is strange, in Germany there is no real price difference. It most cases
there are more cheap DVD-R media because people know that they better work
in stand alone Videop players.
The local office supply stores often have specials on them, making the +
about $5/100 cheaper than -R. Not a big deal, but they do burn *much*
faster on both writers I use, so that's an advantage. Agreed, DVD-R work
much better, DVD+R doesn't work at all in most cases.
2-3 years ago, the last reason why DVD+ _could_ be cheaper than DVD- did go
away when Verbatgim patented a method to replace the pimples at the start of a
DVD- sector by a bulge in the side of the pregroove, making the stand time of
the stamper identical for DVD- and DVD+
I assume the price difference is marketing rather than actual cost,
normally they are the same price, but on sale the DVD+R are a little less.
