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

I've been using the Imation DVD-R discs with the white printable face for a
couple of years now. They write reliably at 8x and -R discs can be used to
produce DVD video discs too, I've never bothered to purchase +R even
though all
my recorders are compatible.
