Blank DVD-R
DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc and DVD-R is a recordable version of the DVD optical disc. DVD-R was developed by Pioneer in the late 90's. At that time there were 2 competing formats, DVD-R and DVD+R. Each format was supported by different companies. There are still 2 different formats today, but the vast majority of DVD recorders are called hybrid drives. This means they can accept, record and play either format. It is more common to find consumer DVD recorders which are meant for the home entertainment setup will still support one of the formats, DVD-R or DVD+R. Consumer DVD recorders are sometimes called standalone recorders because they are not installed in a computer. Consumer DVD recorders are a popular trend to replace the VHS VCR since they serve basically the same function in a home entertainment setup. DVD recorder drives that are attatched to a computer are almost always hybrid drives and will record on either format.

If you are new to DVD recording you will want to know the format that your DVD recorder will accept, DVD-R or DVD+R or both. You will need to purchase the proper format for your recorder. You will also want to know what speed your recorder is. If you have a 16x drive you will be able to record a DVD anywhere from 1x to 16x. You can purchase 16x media and reap the benefits of faster recording. You can also purchase 8x or 4x media that will work just fine in your 16x drive even though it will not burn at 16x. If you have a 4x DVD recorder and you purchase 16x media it will not burn faster than 4x. The record speed of your DVD recorder is the maximum speed that you can record. All consumer or standalone DVD recorders are "real time" and therefore burn at 1x. This does not mean that you have to purchase 1x media. You can use any speed media as long as the format is compatible with your recorder DVD-R or DVD+R.
Brand is probably the most important thing to consider when you are shopping for a blank DVD-R. A quality brand will almost always be the best choice for any application whether it be archiving, master recording, duplicating or just burning a DVD to watch on your TV. Quality brands are made to perform better, last longer and have the most universal compatibility across various DVD players. If you want your burned DVD to play in 95+% of DVD players that exist then you should stick with brands known for quality. Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden and MAM-A have been known to produce the highest quality DVD-R media. Prodisc and Ridata are also good manufacturers.
