DVD-R or DVD+R?

I have a dvd from my wedding photo's....i would like to make a copy of it. The original copy was recorded onto a DVD-R....and I have DVD+R cd's at home and I keep getting a media error when trying to make an exact copy...is it due to not having a DVD-R?

    Yes. You must have a DVD- drive to read/write DVD-Rs. I would suggest going to Best Buy or Circuit City and buying a DVD+/- combo drive. They're pretty cheap now, you could probably get one for $30- $50.

    EDIT: You must have a DVD+/- combo drive to copy from a DVD-R to a DVD+R. Otherwise you will need to buy a DVD- drive and a bunch of DVD-Rs.
