I am going to be getting a dvd player for my computer. How do I know if my dvd player at home supports dvd-r or dvd+r? I would hate to buy a 200 dvd-r drive and then it doesn't work on my dvd player at home.
Well if ya know yer model number and brand you can just do a google and see if they list the specs. I'm pretty sure all the newer dvd players are totally compatible with any dvd+-r/w. Since players nowadays are pretty cheap, it wouldn't hurt to have another handy anyways. DVD-R would be more compatible than DVD+R. What burner are you planning to buy? Uh oh. Here comes Oriphus and his sales pitch!

You put me off my sales pitch by anouncing i was coming :-( lol - Here it is anyway - Buy a Pioneer DVR105, not a 106, not a Sony, not a bloody other drive, just the Pioneer DVR105 - best drive made - and Pioneer are the daddy of the DVD home Writers. What more could you ask for for £99 Chris ;-) _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Im gonna find you, and im coming to get YOU! [/small]
