Follow up questions about Compaq DVD-r by Peter & Jennifer
Further to my earlier questions: I know that with DVD players there are plus and minus systems and one won't play on the other format. How does this work with DVD-Rs? I don't want to copy footage onto a DVD-R and then find that some people can't use the disks. Peter
