My situation is kind-of completely opposite
Almost all +/- D5s are compatible with older standalone players, but this is not the case with D9s

On on older player, +D9 won't play at all, player does not recognise disc (even with booktype changed)
But -D9 does play, albeit with some minor problems (eg. some scenes not playing smoothly, perhaps freezing for 1 sec. or 2) which do not happen on newer players and computer-based drives

My advice: stick to -Rs for all video-related content and +Rs for computer file storage
If you have to burn video onto +R, change booktype of disc to DVD-ROM if ever possible, for better compatibility with various standalone devices

Also, burning the disc at the lowest speed possible may improve the mastering quality and increase compatibility on standalone devices -- same thing as burning Audio CD at lowest speed (1, 2-4x)

Sticking to quality branded DVD media at all times may also improve playback compatibility
