Do you have a dual format burner? Check that first, if not, use the media that matches your burner. I have used both and haven't been able to tell the difference in quality or compatability playing on my PS2 or DVD player. I did notice that I couldn't get Burnatonce to work with +R media. I like to get high quality media, cheap ones do fail to play back properly sometimes and they are a little difficult to return for a refund if you've recorded on them.
Happy burning,

DVD-r is more compatable with standalone players. (- was the original DVD format and would be more widely used)
Either will work on a chipped PS2.
These days there are no real differences between the two Formats, (DVD-r is still more compatable).
I have a dual format burner and I used either - or +.
The only difference I've noticed is the DVD-r seem to burn slower.
If you're authoring your own movies the DVD+ are recommended.
I don't have a burner yet - just trying to get my head around all the factors at this time. I've had a dupe house do all my provious work, but it's time to get into it myself.
I'm leaning towards the Pioneer A06. I just didn't know which media to buy the most of.
I produce promo videos for a range of industries, as well as music videos. Plus I want to use it to do my own data backups. No games at this time. My end-users tend to be fairly tech-tender, so I don't want to have them making decisions on format(s).
From what you two are saying, it sounds like - is the most compatible.
