[MacDV] Re: Any real-world difference between -R and +R?

[BURTON Chris]

Doc,

I have nothing but fantastic luck with the Fujifilm DVD-R disks you can get at Best Buy in my eMac's DVR-105. I bought a 10 pack on
sale for like $20. You can find cheaper disks online, mostly Ritek and such but I know these Fuji's work like a charm on my old RCA
DVD set top so it's worth it to me to have something I know that works.
