Just wondering, I'm planning on purchasing a spindle of dual layer and since they're not exactly cheap i would like to know which one is better before i jump in and just grab watever off the shelf. I am burning games for wii and just backing up movies, should I get a +R dual layer or -R, is there any brands that are better?

LOL!!!!!!!! Sage advice on the Verbatim DVD+R DL's Though !!!!!!!!!!
i don't think you will need to use a DVD+R DL to backup wii games save you're money and buy DVD-/+R SL instead.
there are other options other than using expensive DVD+R DL media .being it cost 1.50 to 1.80 each compared to a DVD-/+R SL blank that cost about 25 cents each.
Options
1. doing the movie only cutting out the previews/extras etc.keeping the compression at 75% or better won't hurt picture quality playback
2. use an encoder like DVD Rebuilder. takes longer but you get almost a perfect quality playback on a DVD-/+R SL blank using it.
and keep your burn speed at 6x to 8x max using DVD-/+R SL media and 2.4x to 4x max using DVD+R DL media.and definitely use DVD+R DL media if you're going that route
NO cmc mag which can be many brands like TDK,HP,Memorex,Phillips etc. don't use them
