Several members offered useful starting points: favored sticking with a manufacturer he trusts, suggested checking alternative models, and other posters reported good personal outcomes. The most durable guidance for "mostly + blank DVDs" is to focus on drive features and media matching rather than a single brand name.

Important factors to consider:

  • Explicit support for the "+" format and, if needed, its dual-layer variant (some drives document supported media types and MIDs).
  • Booktype/bitsetting capability so burned "+" discs can present themselves as DVD-ROM to older standalone players (DVD+R, Bitsetting).
  • A vendor that provides regular firmware updates; firmware fixes often restore compatibility with new batches of blanks.
  • Burn safeguards (buffer underrun protection) and an option to verify the disc after burning to catch failures early.
  • Use of reputable blank media and attention to the media ID (MID); drive/blank pairings determine most real-world success.

Typical troubleshooting and workflow insights (based on common forum experience): update drive firmware from the official support page, perform a test burn with verification enabled, and check results with a disc-quality tool. If coasters occur, try a different brand/batch (different MID) before assuming the drive is defective. Burning at the maximum advertised speed is not always best for marginal media; a lower speed can reduce error rates. Finally, prioritize a drive with an active support/firmware history—that long tail of updates matters more over time than the initial marketing sheet.

I would recommend either the Pioneer DVR-109 or the NEC ND-3520A.
