Bryan, You would be a good one, then to answer the other side of the question. Stevel has, rather eloquently I think, made the case that +R/+RW is superior. Since you mostly burn -R, I would be curious as to your reasoning? There must be a reason for -R, given all the good things +RW has going for it?
Well, I'm afraid I'll never be as eloquent as Stevel.
I do most of my burning for video work. I've found that, percentage wise, +R and - R are going to have the same non-play rates on DVD players. So I just burn -R because it's a bit cheaper and I think it works just as well for DVD playback as +R.
I tell everyone I burn disks for (-R or +R) that it really needs to be played on a player that's within 2 years old to ensure compatibility.
Although, I've got a 5 year old player that I test all my disks on.
The only times I've burned +R disks are when clients specifically request them. And in those cases it's usually because they have access to a +R burner themselves or have only ever used +R.
I think both sides of the fence are good. I've had need for both formats so I really like the combo drive.
