[Hidden-tech] Comments ... burning DVD-R vs DVD+R

[CatamountComputer]

I can state that when I was using my oldest (8 years old) DVD player, 
it would refuse any DVD+R disks, and would only 'play nice' with 
DVD-R.
Only once I retired that player did I start using +R media for 
personal video use.
Same experience with a friend's 4 year old set-top DVD player, only 
the -R would allow viewing.
.. And the same with numerous older Mac/PC computers desiring to view 
video on these disks; only -R would close to universally compatible.

That's my two cents, hope it helps. :-)
