As well as the great advice above, Sony is pretty good. If you are looking for any suggestion you get here try to find made in Japan.

Thanks everyone!
I haven't seen any Sony hier in Germany so far, however i have seen Verbatim. I have Verbatim doube layer DVD+R and in the corner it says "advanced AZO & RW DVD+R DL" i have no idea what that means! lol
Just curious why one should look for made in Japan? these are made in Singapore, is there really any difference?
thanks for taking the time to answer really dumb questions for a total newbie!

oh yeah, forgot to mention the other that was bought because it was cheaper! (my better half bought it!)
TIP DVD-RW single sided up to 2x speed made in Düsseldorf - any comment on these? or should i force my better half to spend the few extra euros?Comment

Just starting out I would look for dvd-R. If you buy dvd+R you have to use this.

You do not need DL just yet, that is a whole other story.
Spend the extra Euros for good quality media. Made in Japan = best quality.
