The local office supply stores often have specials on them, making the + about $5/100 cheaper than -R. Not a big deal, but they do burn *much* faster on both writers I use, so that's an advantage. Agreed, DVD-R work much better, DVD+R doesn't work at all in most cases.Bill Davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> wrote:Part of the problems I have been having with DVD seems to be related to using DVD+R media. While DVD+R burn without error message, they don't work in most readers. And since locally they are cheaper and burn much faster, I would like to have a way to save time and money using them.This is strange, in Germany there is no real price difference. It most cases there are more cheap DVD-R media because people know that they better work in stand alone Videop players.
I assume the price difference is marketing rather than actual cost, normally they are the same price, but on sale the DVD+R are a little less.2-3 years ago, the last reason why DVD+ _could_ be cheaper than DVD- did go away when Verbatgim patented a method to replace the pimples at the start of aDVD- sector by a bulge in the side of the pregroove, making the stand time of the stamper identical for DVD- and DVD+
