DVD-R Help Needed!

[bighap]

I will be getting a Pioneer A04 shortly for my PS2 burning. I will probably be using Verbatim DVD-R because I've allways used them for my CD-R burner and had no problems. Is Verbatim a good choice? What other brands would you recommend? Also, I have seen two types of DVD-R, General and Authoring. What types should be used for PS2 burning on a Pioneer A04? Everyones feedback would be much appreciated especially the genius... charlie_ps2
