Default Format question +R or -R
I've been unable to find this answer on my own, so it's time to ask.

I have a computer that game with a DVD+R/RW drive. Does the Wii only support DVD-R format or can I just buy some good quality DVD+Rs to use for backups?

Thank you all in advance for your help.

+R work too if you set the booktype for DVD+R to DVD-ROM in your burning software.

I agree and I never had any problem with Verbatim DVD+R.
Anyway most people recommend DVD-R for higher compatibility.
