Maybe this is the kind of stuff you should research BEFORE you buy a DVD burner. You think?

Dumbass OP.

you have to burn an equal amount of disks. For instance lets say you back up your goat pron on a dvd r + disk, then when you go to back up your midget pron you need to burn it on a dvd r - disk. If you do not do this your data will be useless, and your f4pping material lost 🙁

Generally, -R is probably considered to be the most compatible, but most DVD players made within the last 3 years or so should have no problems playing either +R or -R.

If you've got a drive that supports bitsetting, then +R is the only way to go. Bitsetting allows you to "set a flag" on the DVD that makes it appear as a DVD-ROM (like all retail DVDs), and in theory, this should be the most compatible.

I wish we had separate forums for all these computer questions. . .

You'd NEVER get these replies in any other forum, Chris. I'm about two more quips away from archiving this puppy...

That's right, Zim. A few friends at work are about to buy their first burners, and all these nuggets of wisdom will REALLY come in handy!

I wish we had seperate forums for parodies and andecdotes.

Another thing to remember is the marketing gimmick of media companies by giving you the capacity in gigaBITS, not gigaBYTES.

By the time you do the conversion, a single-layer +R or -R DVD can hold a maximum of 4.36 gigabytes, not 4.7 gigabytes.

the truth is that for the end user there will be no differences, since most burners and DVD players supports them both.
