In practice you can probably expect some compatibility issues for both
DVD+R and DVD-R, just like that pretty much every burner will not
correctly burn some particular media brands which in theory in ought to

tried -RAM myself though IIRC you just insert the disk for that and
start copying.) Hence my trouble understanding the fuss about dvdrecord.
