I've been creating DVD's now for about 8 months. I use a VX2000, edit
in Premiere 6.5 using built-in encoder and then author with Sonic
DVDit-PE. I've used Maxell 2X DVD-R almost exclusively. So far I have
distributed about 75 DVD-R's to everyone under the Sun... friends,
family, co-workers, strangers, etc. And so far not a single person has
had a problem reading the DVD. I know compatibility issues exist but
my results have been much better than I had originally expected.

Same here with +R. I've distributed about 30 with only 2 unreadable. It
looks like the manufacturers are starting to get the hang of it.
