I am interested in DVD+R and DVD+RW, although if you guys feel the DVD-R media works well too I'd give it a shot. I have a few stand alone DVD players that have read DVD+ without fail but have occasionally given me headaches with DVD-.
Does anyone else find this to be true?
Thanks

Sean, recently purchased Sony's DRX500ULX. Love it too! Read about Meritline's 4X DVD-R in one of the forums on line at CDRLabs.com. Bought them and using DVDXCopy copied a DVD movie "perfectly". Meritline can be reached on line at
http://meritline.com/ . Also purchased Verbatim's DVDRW+ and used that media for making a backup as I just recently upgraded all my hard drives and made backups of each partition separately. Again perfect results. Also purchased ink-jet printable Verbatim DVD-R at this website
http://www.provantage.com/ (first time at this vendor) because it had the product I wanted for use with an Epson PhotoStylus960 that prints on DVD/CD ink-jet printable media. The movie I copied on Meritline 4X played on Pioneer Elite's DVL 91 DVD/LD player without any problems in DTS, menus etc. That was good enough for me. Good luck. Hope this was useful. Enjoy your equipment.
PS
Check out this review on Plextor's new DVDRW referred to on CDLab's homepage:
