On the subject of DVDs, + or - R, once you close the disc it does not matter. I have used both types so far. The only thing is if your burner only supports + you will have to buy + to be able to burn them and the same is true for -.But now if your burner supports either it does not matter, as once the disc is closed you will be able to use it in any DVD reader..Jay in PA
That's not necessarily true. If your DVD player was made before about 1999 or 2000, it probably doesn't understand the +R format. My Sony DVD player, which was a really nice player in 1998, doesn't play +R disks.
This next tidbit I cannot either confirm or deny: According to one website the +R disks allow for random access of file retrieval, whereas -R allow only for sequential access from the start of a given track. I don't know if that's true or not.
