+ or - would be fine. Only upside to the - would be the fact that you can use them in more standard DVD players. Any PCs can play either + or -.

Commercial Answer

The truth is that the two competing technologies use different formats. No single company "owns" DVD and both technologies have their "champions".

DVD-R/RW was developed by Pioneer. Based on CD-RW technology, it uses a similar pitch of the helix, mark length of the 'burn' for data, and rotation control. DVD-R/RW is supported by the DVD Forum, an industry-wide group of hardware and software developers, and computer peripheral manufacturers. The DVD-R format has been standardized in ECMA-279 by the Forum, but this is a private standard, not an 'industry' ISO standard like the CD-R/RW Red Book or Orange Book standard.

DVD+R/RW is also based on CD-RW technology. DVD+R/RW is supported by Sony, Philips, HP, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha, and others, and has recently been endorsed by Microsoft. DVD+R/RW is not supported by the DVD Forum, but the Forum has no power to set industry standards, so it becomes a market-driven issue.

Technical Answer

DVD+R is a dvd disc that allows multiple layers for one disc where as dvd-r only allows one layer. They will not compete to become the de Facto standard, because they are both here to stay. Multi layer DVD+R can allow extra capacity per disc than DVD-R hence its high cost!

hmm never knew that -r only allows one layer and +r allows multi layer

Raised price to $29.99

Now sold out

[Brando56894]

damn, oh well i didnt really need them anyway

[Tru2Chevy]

Hehehe....I ended up paying $32.36 for 2 spools of 100 discs each, shipped to my door. Forgot about that $20 gift card I had laying around.

No, what I meant was that I found the gift card before I placed the order, so I only paid $32 instead of $52 for two spools, shipped. Works out to just 16.2 cents per DVD, instead of $.75ish, like usual.

Yea, I still have about 20 left from the first spool of them that I bought. The two spools I just purchased on sale were shipped yesterday, so the burning craze will begin soon
