Memorex DVD media

[LuDaCriS66]

I've read that Memorex's DVD-R and DVD+R media were made by different companies.. and that one was of bettery quality than the other..

can anyone tell me which is which? Just so I make sure which one to buy next time,.

Memorex 4X DVD+Rs, made by Ritek using Ricoh technologies. High quality.
Memorex 4X DVD-Rs, made by CMC, not so good quality.

Thanks for the info!

Now what makes it better.. one lasts longer than the other?

Better compatiblity, higher quality construction (ie. the 4X +Rs can be written at 8X with the Plextor burner), probably better lifespan, previous reputation from CD-R.
