DVD+R or DVD-R for burning DVDs?
I've heard DVD-R is better. Is that true?

Really? Because I recall hearing the opposite. I don't believe either is better than the other. I do recommend burning at the lowest speed possible and maybe buying from the second cheapest brand. If you do that, you should't have a problem.
I've been using Memorex DVD-R 4x DVDs for awhile now. Memorex is recommended a lot, so I thinK the brand is fine. I think "mid-grade" is a good description. They aren't bottom of the barrel but they aren't too pricey either. Have you tried burning at 16x, since that is what the DVD is? What problem are you having?
I've used FujiFilm and Philips DVDs (both + and -) for years and always burned at the maximum speed and never had an issue with it. As for + and -, it only really matters if you have a device that is only compatible with one and not the other; apart from that, I've found it to be rather irrelevant. I have one DVD Recorder Appliance that can only record on +R media so that's the only time it matters to me.
Okay. You are right on the slower speed being better. From your second post it sounded like you might be actually having a problem burning DVDs so I wanted to be sure. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
