Is is DVD-R or DVD+R?

I'm told it makes a difference, but I can't recall which way it goes.

Yeah, I have three DVD players, two very cheapo jobbies (mind, one of
them is a Pioneer) used at home and for touring the 101 club DVD
around shows. The other, won't say what Beoludy overpriced make,
which is very, very fussy and TBH, not anywhere as good as the 30 quid
Makro Special Pioneer...

all Dvd's (Copys, pirate. vcd) and the dearer dvd players seem to struggle..

Should do just about everything and then some. Probably change your engine
oil too.

If Your specification is vague or imprecise, you'll likely get what you
asked for not what you wanted!

He who says it cannot be done would be wise not to interrupt her doing
it.
