Nolan I do the same kind of work ,last July I was in New Orleans doing a convention sold several hundred DVD's and CD that when all over the world I used CD-R and DVD-R did not get one back. I am hoping with the new HD DVD's they will have a better standard for recordable media. The reason you see the in compatibility with the DVD-R and DVD+R is they really didn't want them to be released. The studios tried to keep it off the market so the story goes.
