I'll add my recent experience. Made DVD of home video on LaCie burner; for 10 duplication copies took it to local company which videos weddings, school plays, civic events, etc. Took along printable blank DVD-Rs, so I could print labels with my new Epson R220. He said I had the wrong banks; they should be DVD+R. So I had him use his DVD+Rs (not printable). Came home, discovered they won't play in my 3-year-old Toshiba player. Made my own copies on DVD-R blanks (printable); they play fine. Any or all play on my computer. Someone on list recommended website <www.videohelp.com> for info on formats, blank discs, etc. All the info one can digest. They report little difference between DVD-R and DVD+R; first is supposedly compatible with 95 percent current players; latter is compatible with 89 percent. Who knows?
