    As it says in the title. The local store has DVD-R and DVD+R next to each other. I couldn't see any difference in stats for the two disc types on the packaging. Does it matter? Which should I be using here?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question.

    Probably doesn't matter, but technically I think DVD+R is designed better.

    Sorry I didn't see this until now! I tried DVD+R and it worked fine. Thanks for the response!
