DVD-R are used to back up movies right? What are DVD+R used for? I always used +R to backup movies but I think I'm just gonna use -R now cause they're cheaper. All DVD players can read -Rs right? Thanks

Quick Answer,

There really isn?t a big difference in the type of DVD you would use + or- . It all boils down to personal preference or what most DVD?s players you own will support. If your stand alone DVD players are newer (within 2 years) chances are they will read either + or ? just fine. The most important factor when deciding media would be the brand or the manufacturer of the disc. This is a confusing one and talked about in depth all over the forum.

I would recommend the following brands
Verbatim
Taiyo Yuden
FujiFilm
