it depends on the recorder. Panasonic is pushing DVD-RAM and DVD-R in 
their standalones. In any case, DVD+R is incompatible with Macs, and my 
understanding is that a lot of consumer players won't read them either. 
I just grabbed a no-name DVD-R brand from my local liquidator and 
haven't had a problem - tried a Pioneer, a Panasonic, and a Koss 
player, all read the disc just fine.
