I’m planning on buying a DVD Burner and well, for those who have one, I want to know if, by burning a copy of a movie, whether it affects the original? ie: does the colour behind the discs change? is the quality of the original affected? I do plan on burning some movies I rent, so I just want a heads up, plus I don’t want to ruin any of my dvd collections either. My second question is, why is DVD +R discs so much more expensive that DVD -R discs? Is +R the double sided discs?

Thanks for the help!
