thanks Roger, I was getting confused but have more idea now. I have a Sony machine and they tell me it accepts plus and minus so I will get a few and see what happens. Thanks.

Phillips and Sony. Just as once was the VHS and Betamax systems in Video tapes and machines. A great number of DVD recorders are able to accept both plus and minus but some will only take one or the other. Rewritable are as they say discs you are able to use more than once. I have them but have never used them as I have been warned of a sharp fall off of quality the more they are used. But if you do which to use them I would suggest the better the quality the better the likelihood of better performance. Verbatim, Toshiba and Maxtell come readily to mind.
