Yep.....just got that confirmed on this cracking site....

Video/DVD help

Just typed in my DVD player name and model and hey presto....doesn't support DVD+R or DVD+RW

But it's ok for DVD-R and DVD-RW (which was the first DVD format and is ok for 93% of home DVD players BTW). Oh yeah....this site has info about all the formats and what they do and cannot do. All you need to know about DVD/Video/Recording. Marvellous.

All I need now is a week off work to take it all on board. So much for a quick result but at least I feel a bit informed on the subject. 8o
