The DVD-R is the most common format.

DVD-R being the 'most common' format is highly debatable, even from the info
given on videohelp.com

The 'most compatible' format is to use DVD+R and change the booktype to
DVD-ROM (which you
CANNOT DO using DVD-R).

Also, checkout http://www.afterdawn.com/ for more specific info.
