DVD-R or DVD+R?

+1 For Nero. Im using version 8. I find it very user-friendly. Just drag and drop the files that need to be copied over to the DVD or CD, then click Burn to start.

I'm thinking of whether its cheaper to use double-sided DVD-R vs single-sided ones. Anybody here tried burning double-sided DVDs? Any problems reading it from your DVD player?

Ako naka-try na. No problem playing them back on our relatively new, China-made cheapo player -- then again I think the thing can play anything. It takes longer to burn though mas madaming puwedeng i-write. Sabi nung driver namin mas madali daw masira but I haven't had evidence of this.

i use Toast Titanium (from Roxio) for burning CDs/DVDs.

With XP Home/Pro:
For making dvd movies with menus, I use Ulead Video Studio 10 Plus. I've been using UVS since version 3 back in the late 90's. I like UVS10+ because of its wide format support and ability to use rw discs for making dvd movies, not to mention it's very easy to use with a wide set of editing/effects tools.

I also have Ulead DVD MovieFactory which is strictly a dvd movie app with none of UVS10+'s editing functions.

For data dvd support, I use the free Deep Burner Pro. It burns data in the same way the old Roxio Easy CD Burner did. I also use CD Burner XP which is also free.

With Vista
For data dvd, I'm satisfied with Vista's (Home Premium) built-in drag and drop to dvd r/rw support. My Toshiba laptop came with Toshiba Disc Creator which does audio, data, disc backup, disc to iso, and iso to disc with support for cd, dvd, and HD DVD* discs.

For dvd movies, I haven't tried Vista Home Premium's DVD Maker yet. Plus, my Toshiba laptop came with Ulead's DVD MovieFactory 5 which also has support for cd, dvd, and HD DVD.

For the Mac, I use the iLife apps, of course.

*Although HD DVD is as good as dead for commercial movies, it's perfectly fine with me for making backup/data discs..... It's also kind of strange because I don't think my laptop has an HD DVD drive......

To complete the setup, I still have my LiteOn DVD recorder for vcr functions and those times when I'm too lazy or it's just not worth it to edit on the pc-----> Like recording American Idol episodes for the wife. After she's done, erase the dvdrw and reuse all over again.
