best media brand for DVD+R?

[dt34]

Had a few questions and couldn't find them in the forum search. If anyone can answer them, I'd appreciate it.

1. Just bought an external (portable) DVD+R/RW burner, should I have splurged $100 more for the DVD+R/RW / DVD-R/RW burner?

2. Which media brand is the best for DVD+R/RW? Ritek?

3. Are there double sided 9.4 GB DVD+R? I've only found them for DVD-R....is that a limitation?

4. I'm still not sure, which is more compatible in stand alone DVD players, DVD-R or DVD+R? or should I say better?

I'm all new to this, thanks in advance.

I would myself, but this is a personal preference.

"2. Which media brand is the best for DVD+R/RW? Ritek?"

Yes

"3. Are there double sided 9.4 GB DVD+R?"

Not yet, but soon.

"4. I'm still not sure, which is more compatible in stand alone DVD players, DVD-R or DVD+R? or should I say better?"

Overall, DVD-R, but it still depends on the particular manufacturer and model of the standalone.

thanks for the quick reply, I guess I'll just stick with the current burner then, I was thinking of selling returning it for the other one. I'll just use the $100 saved and buy a myself some blank dvds.

Good idea. Buy some more Riteks.
