    -r is more compatible.

    +r is technically superior.

    If you want compatibility, go with -r.

    Or if you can change the book type with your burner
    Use +R booked at DVD-ROM
    Because from my understanding DVD-ROM is even more compatible.

    thanks bazooka, now its just a matter of deciding which brand to buy. i like taiyo yuden CD-r's so maybe their dvd's will be just as good.

    Isn't this in the FAQ or somewhere ?
    If in doubt, Google it.

    there were definitions about the 2 formats, but i didnt find anything about how the 2 formats differed. from what i read, the dvd-r's are more compatible with various players.
