There are some people that can't play dvd's that I've recorded on my dvd recorder.

This isn't because it's + or - r - (as 'backup's' play ok) it is because the dvd is recorded in 'vr' mode. And not all dvd players can play this.

Also you will get better compatibility if you finalise your -r, -rw, and +r discs before trying to get them to play in another dvd recorder/player

You do not need to finalise a dvd +rw.
