Finally gonna get one of these for archiving.  Any suggestions?  Any specific brands to shy away from?

I have a Sony, it's ok.  I would definitely suggest a Plextor.  I had a Plextor burner and a cd rom and loved them to death...now my brother has them and they still work flawlessly (5+ years).

Dumb question.  Is the file format different between -R and +R or is it just the media.  ie. If I have some +R that will not play on my DVD player, is it possible to rip them and reburn them as -Rs which I know will play?

the files on a dvd are the same, regardless of the format. you can extract the files from your +R dvd and burn them onto a -R dvd.

I just got a Plextor PX708A internal last week and absolutely love it!!!  It has performed flawlessly since installation.  Highly reccommended...I believe these can be had for around $160 if you know are good at the internet  ;)

Seems like I've had more format compatibility problems with +R myself.

So you can use +R for archiving and -R for video DVDs.  Let me know if you want to borrow my shows to copy.
