Hi Dale,
   It TOTALLY depends on the DVD player. Different players, different
specs. My input is check the specs. You can burn 1 or 2 and try, but
if the player isn't spec'ed for DVD-R then it might work today but be
flaky tomorrow.

   BTW - I recently moved my wife's laptop off of Gentoo replacing it
with Kubuntu. Only reason I bring it up is I bought a package of DVD+R
to burn some boot DVDs and found her machine (and my mom's which is
the same Asus G73JW model) won't read DVD+R but works fine with DVD-R.
Sadly, I'll be switching my main machine away from Gentoo after now
close to 17 years of using nothing but Gentoo. That's a long run
having started in 2002/2003. My machine has no trouble with either
type.

   Anyway, good luck.

Mark
