Backup 3 and DVD+Rs. Won't work.

I saw some very reasonalby priced Philips DVD+R discs. Decided to
backup
my iTunes folder using Backup 3 to said DVDs. Keep gettng this message:


"There was a problem burning this disc. The media is not the right type

for the requested operation."

Is this a generic issue with DVD+R media or is it the 'very reasonable
price' that is the prob?
