If you want to: a) Send the DVD to someone else, use DVD-R b) Play the DVD in a DVD player, use DVD-R c) Use the DVD in a DVD-ROM drive, use DVD-R There are, of course, some DVD players and DVD-ROM drives that support DVD+R media, but they're few and far between. None of the DVD players purchased by/for family/friends this year would read DVD+R, but they all happily read DVD-R/DVD-RW. The difference between DVD- and DVD+ is that hardware makers are making concious efforts to ensure that their devices will read DVD-, DVD+ support just happens occasionally as a side effect. > Granted I did sell off my DVD+R/W recorder, but > under very specific circumstances, not because it didn't work in 98% > of the players I tried.
