I've also looked into the differences between DVD-R(W) disks, and the DVD+R(W) disks. It appears that the DVD+R(W) disks are more reliable, as they have better error correction methods that their DVD-R(W) counterparts.
My experience is, some players/readers prefer the DVD-R, others prefer the DVD+R, but most anything newer than first generation ancient DVD doesn't care. DVD-R has slightly more capacity which is important here. I think the differennce in reliability is a red herring.
Hi John. This is the article I was eluding to in my post:
Article Why DVD+R(W) is superior to DVD-R(W) Date June 2003 Author Michael Spath
http://www.myce.com/article/Why-DVDRW-is-superior-to-DVD-RW-203/
As you can see, it's dated June 2003, so it might not be so relevant now?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts

Any pros vs cons on using a bootable USB thumb drive instead of CD/DVD ?
this might be the better solution as the images just grow larger and larger each update.
I find it much faster to install from USB.
