Re: which is best
DVD-R was designed for video use, and it is therefore more likely that a set top DVD player will read it. In fact, all players manufactured after 1998 should be able to play it. Not all DVD set top players can play DVD + Rs

Re: which is best
I don't recommend buying cheap media as this may prove problematic. I tend to stick to Verbatim x16 DVD-R Which i buy from here.
