DVD Recording Format Clarification

Like other contributors to this forum, I am considering taking the plunge and investing in a stand-alone DVD recorder. Please could someone help clarify some of the advice given previously?

I like the idea of DVD RAM as a time shifting device and the Panasonic DMRE50EBS seems an attractive proposition. However, it has been stated that, the DVD-R discs are not truly DVD compatible. Yet DVD-R is the 'official' standard of the DVD Forum !

Also reading the specs of various DVD +R/WR machines, they will play DVD-R discs. So surely this will in some way 'future proof' ant recordings I make on DVD-R discs, should DVD+R win out finally as the winning format

Finally, what are the choices of DVD+R recorders. I personally don't like Philips having experienced a LOT of problems with that in the past.

Steve
