DVD-R or DVD+R?

Which would you recommend for burning movies, DVD-R or DVD+R blank discs? TY.

In my experience, I didn't find any difference between the two.

I asked the saleslady at CD-R King the same question and here's what she told me: If you're gonna be burning DVD movies, use DVD-R. If you're gonna burn data, use DVD+R.

Don't know if she's pulling my leg or what...

both are non re-writable unless it's a RW. DVD-R is more compatible with DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs. a difference of 93% to 89%

Yup, I experimented with the 2 this afternoon. I burned 2 movies using both a DVD-R and a DVD+R for each. Both DVD-Rs were read by my generic DVD player (Orange brand) while only 1 of the DVD+Rs was recognized.

Now for the software. What DVD burning software do you guys use? I'm currently using Roxio but I don't find it user-friendly and I'm having problems burning some of the movies I downloaded from the net via *******. The movies are in avi format and play perfectly as such but when I burn them into DVDs, some lose their sound. Out of the 5 movies that I downloaded recently, 2 have no sound when I burned them into DVDs. :confused:

bOth are the same but mas maraming dvd players na compatible with the dvd-r. especially the older generation and the branded ones. but the new players now even the branded ones are compatible with both medias. so safe ka sa dalawa.

Same, though I find + a tad faster specially when finalizing (is this word right? it's when it closes the session).

Nowadays it doesn't matter what format dvd you use. What matters more is the brand of blank discs. Don't ever buy Memorex-branded ones. I have a personal preference for iMation (made here in town) and TDK (esp for DVDRW).
