Both.
In this day and age of a variety of dual-format burners why not use both. General rumor is that + media is better for data and rewriting and - media is better for video. I use - media because I buy loads of it in bulk. The few discs I've had of + media worked fine for data but then so did the - media. I haven't noticed a difference at all between them, despite the raging debates that people have over them. I swear it's like comparing apples to apples -
By the time this thread ends you'll be more confused than ever , because it's one of those questions with no right or wrong answers . It is an opinion and everyone has a different opinion.
It has been debated many times on this forum. -
-R because that's what my standalone player reads
Big Government is Big Business.. just without a product and at twice the price... after all if the opposite of pro is con then wouldn’t the opposite of progress be congress? -
You know, we haven't had a Format War in awhile...
Here, I'll start.
DVD-R sucks, because BJ_M uses it.:P

"Terminated!" :firing: -
No , no ,no
There's only one type of media for backing up data and that is DVD-RAM. -
Shit, I didn't even notice! What the hell kind of newbies post is this?!
DVD-RAM for data. I second the motion. -
Ive heard rumors from a reliable source that the heads of all companies in the +RW alliance eat puppies and enslave young children. Do you want to support a format whos companies are involved in such horrible acts? DVD-R all the way!
Seriously though...G04 or RicohJPN dye, makes no difference to me. I'll gladly use DVD-R or DVD+R. Also, I prefer +RW over -RW, thats the only area I see a real difference in the media. With my 4X DVD-/+ RW drive, DVD-RW would only write at 2X, so I simply go for +RW as its got the base speed of 2.4X. I've got 3 very good Memorex +RW's I use for testing and the final copy usually finds its way onto a Ritek G04. -

I think that you should look into the new DVDxR format.

Although obviously indo is a bitch. a wine cooler downing bitch.
And DVD+R is better, because the + makes your penis bigger. -
Has anyone done a microwave comparison ?
I mean which will flare up first + or -
You would definitely want to back up to whichever took the longest. -
LOL! This is andyps fault! I tried a Samsung -R (BeAll) in the microwave, 1 second only because i was sure it was going to be a flare, but i had no idea! This microwave is far from the normal type, more like twice the normal power. IT FLARED, yes... BIIIIG! And smoke-belching. Sorry i have no +R coasters yet, been using +R only for short time. My digital camera is not here, so i cant show you what 1 second does to a BeAllG0004, i just say DONT TRY!
-
Oh Shit !
I didn't think someone would really try it.
I suppose since Thor is the God Of Thunder we should expect a bit of Lightning.
I'm going off to find a different avatar now and hide for a bit. -
No problem andyp, i take full responsibility
. Anyway i was the one who recommended the guy who wanted advice about cleaning +RWs to microwave them 1 minute on each side. Next time i suggest 1 second, its MORE than enough
BHTW, when i put the disk in the burner, DVDDecrypter say "No medium present" but its there, pls help a newbie out here! -
I did a quick forum search for microwave and guess what came up near the top of the list.

And then was the time i had my first car and connected a car stereo, didnt know the wires under the dashboard could make that much smoke, so at least i learned something new. Thats about all, who here havent been boys once?
