Does anyone have DVD recorder? Which format to buy: + or -?

[Alexander]

I recently bought DVD+ recorder, but someone said that there are more DVD- disks around. So, which format is better?

(I bought DVD+ because it is more "open" and more flexible for re-writing/editing format, and does not require "finalising" after which disk becomes un-rewritable.

Any one with DVD recording experience?

There are DVD burners available that can do either + or -, but I don't have one. Instead, I convert them to VCD and use a regular CD burner.

There is no definitive answer to which format is better, as it ultimately depends on personal preference and the compatibility of the discs with your DVD recorder. However, it is true that DVD- discs are more widely available and may be easier to find in stores. DVD+ discs do have the advantage of being more flexible for re-writing and editing, as you mentioned. It's ultimately up to you to decide which format best fits your needs and usage. If you have already purchased a DVD+ recorder, you can always purchase DVD- discs online or at specialty stores if needed. It may also be helpful to do some research on the specific features and capabilities of your DVD+ recorder to see if it is compatible with both formats. Additionally, seeking advice from others with DVD recording experience can also be helpful in making a decision.
