I did not yet see a lie from the DVD- people. They even fail to report all that
works.

DVD+ _only_ works in some kind of packet mode. You need to format a DVD+RW
before you may use it. If you format a DVD-RW, you have no longer problems
with buffer underuns too. The pitfall is media reliability - as with DVD+RW.

No, if the DVD+ alliance does not like to allow other modes of usage (even not
e.g. a simulation mode for DVD+R) then I see no way where DVD+ could have all
possibilities you have with DVD-
