Chicago (IL) - The DVD Forum makes little noise in the public these days. Behind the scenes, the organization however is busy in improving its existing and developing new standards. Among others, the DVD-R this week received speed increases to 12x and 16x, the DVD-R video recorder spec was approved. Also, HD DVD got its official logo and a rewritable disc spec.

yesh but DVD-R is more compatible than DVD+R

Mildly, from what I've experienced. Since I can use both, I've opted to write to +R/+RW because the fas termedia was cheaper.
Has anyone read anything about dual layer compatibility ?

i'd rather use DVD-R.
