    How do I know which DVDs to buy - DVD+, DVD-, or DVD+/-? What's the difference?!

    Thanks

    For all practical purposes, they are all the same. If you want to get into the specifics of each, take a look here.

    If you have a dual format dvd burner (one thats has both a +/- in the specs), any format will do. You should me more concerned with getting quality DVDs (not no-name stuff).
