Will DVD-r disc work with a DVD+R recorder?

[Hardbopjazz]

I have a DVD+RW recorder. Someone gave me a few DVD-R disc, will they work with a DVD+RW recorder? I tried but, it just spits them out. I am guessing that it won't work. Anyone here know the answer?

Sorta been there, done that, but I had the opposite situation: DVD+R discs and a DVD-R recorder. The spitting was the same, so I bought a double-layer DVD+R recorder (LaCie with LightScribe) and installed it as a second internal on my Mac. My new burner (the +) handles both kinds of disc, but older Mac drives only accept a "-" disc.

BTW, the LightScribe burns beautiful labels on the disc's reverse side, but it does require special discs--not expensive.
