lol - its really down to the media you use. For example answer these questions:

1). What make is your DVD Writer?
2). What format does it record in (+/- R)?
3). What software will you be using?
4). What media do you intend using?

I will answer some of these for you.

To have the best compatibility out of your 'crappy' walmart DVD player, the -R format would tend to be the better. However, that is not to say that the +R DVD format would not be suitable, as it most likely would.

You will have to rip and compress most movies before backing them up. Click on this link --> DVD Shrink and download this program. It will allow you to rip the movie and then compress it. Here is a tutorial for you:

Download, if you dont already have it, Nero v5.5.10.35 to burn your movies to the disc.

Also, you need to choose the right media that suits you. The most compatible discs at a decent price are the Ritek G03's and G04's. use these for best results.
