I found this on that:
http://www.videohelp.com/dvd
that claims a slight compatability advantage to "-". But now that
the dust over the competing formats has settled, it looks like
most contemporary players and records work well with either.

More important, for both DVDs and CDs is getting good quality,
name brand blank media.

Thanks for asking,
