    i have read quite a few of ur amswers, im nt a comp wiz but i do belive that DVD+R's are better for storing data, i.e. backing up your photo's, and that DVD-R's are better for burning movies, i had used a dvd+r to record a film and played it in my dvd player and some times its ok but other times it will skip and jump back in chapters and so on, burned the same film to a DVD-R and playback was fine. all i buy now is DVD-R's as you can do everything without a problem so i would recomed to just use DVD-R's.
    one other thing is that i found with the DVD+R i could erase and re-write on the disc even tho its not an RW ?:S?
