thanks for your reply - I'll check what the DVD writer says on it when I get into work. Do all DVD writers says whether it's a '+' or '-' or even both?

Pretty much all DVD burners now are both. In the earlier days there were 2 formats, once written they are the same but it's a different way of burning.
If your DVD burner is only one type then you need the specific disc type for it.
