looking for dvd drive advice..
I'm thinking of buying a dvd rewriter but I'm wondering which format is the better choice DVD+ or DVD-? Also any recommendations on what brand/type to buy would be great!

I'd get this one or something similar.
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...factory=BROWSE

It supports both DVD+ and DVD- discs and also supports the new DVD+DL (dual layer) discs. The dual layer discs are not widely available yet but by this time next year, I believe they should be about just as cheap as the 8x dvds selling now and hold about twice as much data. (8.5gb)
