just wondering? I am using verbatim dvd-r to back up movies. I am running out and need to purchase more. I see alot of dvd+r's are cheaper. does it matter if i get dvd-r or dvd+r?

Not as long as your player supports playing DVD+R and maybe a few changes in Fab and or ImgBurn.Originally posted by dc1225 View Post

For SL blanks, there's not much to choose from between -R and +R formats... for DL blanks, -R's are useless.
What you should be careful of is the BRAND you buy.
Many major brands, such as Memorex and Phillips, don't make their own discs... that's farmed out to companies like Ritek and CMC Magnetics, and the quality of of these is questionable, at best.
You sound like you're doing some price shopping, and for the headaches and coasters it'll result in, if you go with a 'discount' brand, you're better off sticking with what is working for you.
Better you stick with the Verbatims, or, if you don't mind shopping the web, buy Taiyo Yudens online at competitive prices.

What about TDK DL Disks?
Any pro or con to using TDKs would be appreciated. They were recently priced at $30 for 50 disks at Amazon. Will I have many coasters?Comment

Probably more than half will be coasters. If wanting DL media get and only get Verbatim that made in Singapore. For SL media get either Verbatim or the best which is Taiyo Yuden.Originally posted by Whale2 View Post

Sorry DC, you are correct. I assumed that since dc1225 was currently using Verbatim that he was looking to buy +R Verbatims should have gone into more details.Originally posted by DarthCopier View PostCBR929's comments are good, but don't go far enough...
