5920G DVD burning question

Hello there,
DVD burning is one area of technology I never kept up on. I remember when the technology came out there was alot of confusion over + and -, RAM and ROM and all sorts of stuff.

So here I am with my 5920G (LX.AGW0X.169 UK) and I want to burn a backup DVD etc. The only info I can find on the hardware is that it's a "DVD-Super Multi Double Layer drive".

So help a confused guy out, what sort of DVD writable discs do I buy when I go down the store? Or has everything been standardised since the DVD-R+/- days?

Thanks for any help.

 

don't worry - it writes and reads everything, including exotic DVD-RAM and also dual layer DVD. However my dual layer back-up DVDs have been recorded only sa single layer. Have no clue why

 

Try DVD-R, I had some problem with DVD+R while I was makeing backup with ACER Backup software. Make sure You have 10GB free disk space on D: partition or your recording backup dvds my may fail.
