New To Video

[tcdiver]

I have a Sony DVD403 with an underwater housing and would like to use it more. I know its not the best media for editing, but I'd like to record some stuff now and do some simple editing in the near future, (cut bad clips, add titles, and maybe some music). My question is which DVD.....-RW or +RW? and which mode Video Mode or VR Mode? Finalize or not? And which editing software?

I appreciate any help.
Regards,

A regular DVD Video can be played on all players and is therefore more versatile. It requires finalisation.

I have always used +R(W) disks, they can be bitset.
