Is is DVD-R or DVD+R?

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

My expensive Pioneer won't play DVD+R discs, but my el-cheapo no-name
one plays everything I've ever thrown at it (DivX included).

Odd.  same discs, same 'burner', same software (Pinnacle Studio Plus
V9.4 for those who know about these things - which isn't me...)

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...

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.
