I just got a new AOpen DVD burner. It has specs for both DVD+R and DVD-R so I guess it will work with either. Is there an advantage to one over the other? Thanks, Craig

Have a read through Praetor's CD/DVD 101 - Cd/dvd 101

As far as I know, the differences are not really worth the hassle

It all depends on the dvd player you got some like both and other don't like -'s and sometimes they don't like +'s. As for my self All my players will play - and + with no issue.

marquita188

Just curious are 100 dvd-r or dvd+r 4x worth buying for 5 bucks?
