I am told (although I don't have direct experience) that many NON PC DVD
players only will read DVD-R NOT DVD+R (although I have also read that
for data archiving DVD+R has better error protection).
I don't know the difference between DVD-R and DVD-R(DL) - but since your
friends seem to have given you DVDs which you could play, my guess its
the +R against the -R thing.
