    It's very dependant on the individual player as to what it likes. Neither format is really "universal".

    OK well -r media is compatable with 90 percent of the drives out there ....

    dvd+r last time I read up was compatable with 85percent of drives out there

    APPARENTLY dvd +r is superior to dvd -r whether it is or not I cannot see but if I was you I would get a +/- r drive so you can choose .......-r's are FAR FAR cheaper and if I had the choice over would choose those

    on the compatabilite issue I can use both on all My drives its swings n round abouts to be honest you will never know until ya try
