[gentoo-user] OFF TOPIC, sort of. Playing DVDs in DVD players and DVD disc type

[Dale <rdalek1967@gmail.com>]

Howdy,

I'm about to make some DVDs to be played in a DVD player, not computer
but for TV.  I have been using DVD+R and they work fine.  I've made
quite a few of them.  My friend bought another spindle of 100 that are
DVD-R.  Note the difference of + and - there.  I suspect it will play
fine but I don't want to open the spindle, burn a few, find out it
doesn't play and be stuck with DVD discs, at least 90 or so more, that
are basically of no use.  If it won't work, I'd rather him swap them out
now and get what we know works instead of getting stuck. 

I'm using DeVeDe 3.23.0 software to create the DVD and K3b to burn
them.  I think Devede creates a ISO image for K3b to burn if that helps
any.  It's been a while since I made a DVD. 

I'm pretty sure they bought their DVD player just a few years ago.  Will
DVD-Rs play the same as DVD+R in modern ones or are they still picky? 

Oh, the only DVD player I have is my puter so I'm not going to claim I
know them things real well.  ;-)

Thanks.

Dale
