Hi, I'm trying to figure out what blank dvds to use with my burner, hopefully someone here can help me. It's an HP DVD +-RW drive, to me it sounds like I can use both dvd+r dvd-r, is that right?

These days, yes. It used to be that you had to be carefull to choose the ones for your machine but it's not so anymore. The newer machines (as well as home DVD players) can read just about anything. However if you plan on using the disk in your home DVD player then you need to stay away from the cheap '100 pack for $1.99+tax' type disks. Home DVD machines do not have the kind of error read and correction capabilities that computer DVD machines have so they need good quality disks.

hi, i use generic dvd-r's 50 for 18 bucks work well in my home dvd player and my dvd player is a cheapy.i paid 50 bucks for sont dvd-r's and about 10 disks were not able to write.so from that point on i started buying no name disks and no troubles as of yet. keltik

It's mostly a matter of trial and error until you find a brand that your recorder likes. Most are not very fussy.

I was never asking about brand, just about the type, which I believe blackbill answered, thank you.

sometimes we offer suggestions on what brands to buy so that your not in the store with a dumblook on your face wondering what brand to get.obviously if you didnt know what type to use you are not gonna know what brand to use..so we offer it to you.gurantee it you would of been back in a week or so asking if the brands matter. keltik

I always use DVD-R The + can sometimes cause problems with your set-top dvd player on different types or media.. 90% of all dvd players out there will accept DVD-R Junk Internet Explorer, Get Firefox! You'll be happy you did.
