I'm getting a DVD Burner and was wondering what is the best format to burn with ?

DVD+R or DVD-R ?

If anyone could direct me to some articles, that would be great.

Thanks

basically, dvd-r is the most compatible format, while dvd+r is faster for burns.

im using dvd-r and it works great with any of my dvd players. It also depends on what media you are using. im using ritek G04's. Im sure +R is good, but -r is cheaper i think

is the dual-layer format standardized OR are there also -R and +R dual-layer formats as well?

I'm using DVD-R and so far after about 25 burns I have had no problems with movies or data.

I used to use only dvd-R to burn movies because of the compatability issues surrounding dvd+, but I've switched over to dvd+r.
1) It's apparently technologicaly more advanced
2) It's is, contrary to common belief, compatible in all new set top dvd players made within the last 2 years.
3)The price is the same as DVD-R, so why not buy better technology for the same price?
4) My Plextor DVD burner lets me burn 4X DVD+R at 8X, which leads to 6.5 mins to burn a dvd video instead of 14 minutes with DVD-!

Even when I burn these DVD+ discs at higher speeds than rated, they are identical to ones burnt at 4X.
I would reccomend using Maxell or Memorex. Memorex is cheaper in cost, so I usually stick with it.
All the best.

Hey, I wanted to bring this up with another Plexy user. I too prefer the x4 DVD+R media in the 712A (however, I prefer TDK's). But I've recently gotten my hands on some x8 DVD+R and found that it actuall burns slower on this x8 media than the x4 stuff (x8 turns in an x6 rating). Have you ran into this as well?

My understanding is that all DL media will be +R.

Course my understanding has ben full of kaka before...
