Going to upgrade the DVD/CDRW drive on my laptop with a DVDR/RW drive. This will now be my first experience with recordable DVD. The question now is what to get, a plus or a minus drive? Does either one have worse compatibility issues or is either one a more accepted format. Is one in danger of becoming obsolete? The only thing I have heard is that the minus is better for documents? Well I don't think I shall ever have that many documents that I'd need more than a CD or 2, so that should not be a factor. Just for movies and backups I suppose. Any opinions?
