Burning a DVD+R from a DVD-R disk?

My son sent me a DVD of his retirement ceremony and it is on a DVD-R disk. I have a burner that will burn any but all I have is DVD+R disks at the present--is it possible to copy the program from the DVD-R format and burn to a DVD+R disk? I might be doing something wrong as I put the program in my DVD player and a DVD+R in my burner and it burns a disk for me and I close it and it plays fine on my computer but not in my Sony DVD player hooked to my TV, it will play other DVD+R disk that I have burned from an ISO image. My Sony player says it will play all formats.

I would make an ISO image of the DVD you need to copy. Do not do a DVD to DVD copy. Create the ISO using Nero or Roxio then burn it to the other type formatted disk. This should resolve your problem.

 

Thanks for the suggestion and it worked fine.

Thanks again,
