Depending on how old it is, you can go wrong with any DVD RW
Generally speaking, many DVD players could support many DVD disk, including DVD-r, DVD+r, DVD-rw, DVD+rw. If your DVD player could support those four kinds of disks, then make sure your DVD burner could also support them. Take an example, the DVD burner I use could burn movies and videos to DVD-r, DVD+r, DVD-rw, DVD+rw. Then it's up to you which disc to use. You may download one and try it by your self. wish it helps!
