Only difference is the pretty movie reel top.I believe all those Digital Movie reel disc are 4X and the one's on sale this week at BestBuy are 16x.Save your self some money and get the one's for $6.99 those are all i use now in the plus format.
thank you very much. those "digital movie" kind are very good, but theyre getting expensive. also, last time i went to bestbuy, the quality wasnt there anymore, so i didnt buy them last time. i will def check out the 6.99$ DVDs today.
thanks again :)
btw, i use the DVD-R format... is there anything wrong with it? i need to be able to play these DVDs in DVD-players (non PC) and also need to be able to read the Data DVDs in all DVD-ROM drives

the +r's you can booktype to dvd-rom(which is what a movie is)most drive support bitsetting. letting you change the format of the +r's to the dvd-rom
take a look at this
i have a older dvdplayer and these play fine in it no problem. but there is nothing wrong with the -r media at all i use both also. what type of drive are you burning with? it should allow you to book type. what programs are you useing to burn also?
Nero automaticly booktypes for you
DVD-R media are very compatible because they have the support of the DVD Forum, the group that set the specifications for DVDs. DVD+R is a "break-away" format that HP, Sony, and Philips established when they grew frustrated with the restrictions of the DVD-RW version of DVD-R. (You will never see a "DVD" logo on a strictly DVD+R/+RW product--that logo belongs to the DVD Forum.)
Some DVD Forum members took the break personally. Panasonic DVD players and recorders, for example, for a long time refused to recognize any DVD+R disc. The response from the DVD+R Alliance was to allow falsifying the bit setting recorded on a DVD+R disc from "DVD+R" to "DVD-ROM" so that almost all DVD players/recorders--including Panasonic's models--would be tricked into believing the DVD+R discs were actually DVD Forum-approved movie discs. (That's why DVD-R discs do not have their book type settings changed; they already correspond to DVD Forum specs as recordable discs.) Changing the bit setting means that DVD+R media are now slightly more compatible with DVD players and drives, old and new, than DVD-R media.
