DVD-R/DVD+R....Difference?

dvd-r is a recordable format that will hold slightly more data than dvd+r. If your computer is fairly new, it shouldn't be an issue. Look at your DVD burner if it has "DVD±RW" than you're in the clear.

 

To be honest, I have had nothing but trouble from DVD-R.

I had to take some dvds that my girlfriend's parents made with their cam corder and put them on one disk. A few of the dvds they used were -R and they were a pain. The audio was way out of sync with the video, not to mention that half of the videos dissappeared when I ripped them to my computer.

All the +R dvds worked flawlessly, however.

I say go with +R and never have to worry about problems.

 

it should be fine. DVD players now recognise both and as far as I can remember PCs with built in DVD burners will too.

 

Yeah, you shouldn't have any problem using/playing both kinds of dvds.

But, you may run into problems when you try to do some deep stuff with your disks, like ripping and encoding them.
