I can tell you I have used DVD+R for at least a year and it works 
fine for me. I use Toast and my burner is a "PIONEER DVD-RW 
DVR-106D". I have tried at least 4 or 5 different DVD media, and only 
one type have caused any problem, and I really don't know what to 
blame, if it's the product or if I had bad luck during those 
burnings... So the person in the store is proven wrong, generally 
speaking, but could be right in specific instances.
