Oh yeah if your gonna "practice" you would be better off lookin for +/- Rw media so ur not throwing your money in the garbage.
Assuming your dvd player will play RW discs as opposed to just regular + or - R.

You can check at www.dvdrhelp.com which formats yours will play

Careful with ur money if ur copying dvd's for a collection or w/e becuz I found out the other night that the burned onez don't work in some cheap model DVD players or PS2's. PS2's won't read it (unless therez a special way I didn't try) and the cheap DVD players read the data on the disc it comez up as the file extensions it wont play (still workin on that tho there might be a way to get it to work).

That's the nice thing with dvd xpress, if your player isn't 100% on the whole -/+ thing it can burn it more like a dvd-rom style or an original dvd disk, haven't needed the use for it but sure that might get ya to slide by, like boomin said don't screw around with Programs while burning unless you got a decent system that won't bog down on ya, if you got like decent P4 512 ram you should be all good...

+ is suppose to be the better quality of the 2 dvd types, something with how it burns with spaces in the dvd more spaces filled better quality disc, -R leaves bigger gaps when recording doesn't utilize the disk fully, if your buying disk like mentioned above get +/- RW get a 3 pack and u should be set, then buy whatever else.... that way you mess up a disk would take you like 50 min to do full erase but then u can start over gain, if anything don't even buy 3 pack you can buy singles but might cost like 4-5$ for that 1 disk
