What's the scoop these days re: compatibility? I've been doing -R since
that's what my original burners required. Occasionally, I have some
compatibility problems with client machines.


This is oversimplfied, but generally more DVD drives older
than 3-4 years will be compatible with -R, while more newer
drives either use +R or can handle either format.

I can see the advantage to -R is that it would be compatible with both of these generalized groups.

For distribution to large companies or other groups, -R is still
the way to go. But if a client has mostly new computer
hardware then choose +R.

What is the advantage in using +R in this case?
