    The closest thing I've seen to an unbiased test (ie, by someone who didn't appear to have a vested intrest either way) indicated that -R had a slight lead (a few percentage points) in compatibility with standalone DVD players. That test included many different DVD recorders, several software packages, dozens of DVD players, and lots of different media. Sorry, I don't have a link or remember where I saw it. It was only a few months ago though.

    +R has the recording speed advantage right now. -R has a slight cost (and maybe availability) advatage.

      For test burnings I only use +RW. They are alot quicker. However for distribution to the end user only Verbatim -R disks. Would rather pay a bit extra for the quality.. Down in my part of the world there is some real cheap chap being sold..

        Thanks Guys

        Paul, I imagine you mean "crap"

        Here also in OZ -R at 50cents each. These are okay if you play no more tha a few times and don't burn more than 4gb.

        junkmalle

        I do burn a test to RW each time for a new project as you suggest and I have had varied results with both + & - on a variety of recognised brand names. IE TDK Verbatim etc.

        I guess it is a matter of suck and see
