    Just recently got a DVD recorder and picked up some Memorex DVD+R's to do some recording. They will finalize and play back on the recorder they were recorded on but not on other DVD players. The DVD+RW blank that came with my recorder will play on other DVD players. So, I'm thinking it's either the quality of Memorex or maybe the DVD-R will play on other players where the DVD+R won't, although my recorder (Go Video) is supposed to work with both. So, what's the difference between the + and - designations anyway?

    Whether the player will play a home-burned DVD, depends both on your player and the blank that was used.

    You can probably find your player here and see what it can play. User comments on specific media can be seen here.
