DVD-R(W) or DVD+R(W) for Backing up DVD Movies? HELP!!!

If I am going to be backing up my DVD movies, which type of DVD+/-R(W) should I be using? I am using a burner that can burn both formats (Sony DRU-540A)

From what I have read, DVD-R/RW are the standard and DVD+R/RW is a newer format. Is it true that DVD-R/RW are slighlty better in terms of playability in standalone (regular) DVD players?

Basically, should I be opting for DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW for my DVD movie backing up purposes? Furthermore, should I be using R or RW disks?

Thanks!!

 

Not unless you want to erase, reformat and re-record, your two options are -R and +R. They're much cheaper than RWs. Now, which one you want to use depends on what your DVD player can play. Try them both but be sure to watch the entire movie. Sometimes although the DVD player can read the media, it skips and freezes. So the media you are using might not be compatible with your player. Good luck!

 

ritek g04 -r discs should do the trick.
