It's widely thought that it's impossible to bitset -Rs as information on -R
bitsetting is not widely circulated.
The reality is that if you know what you're doing you CAN bitset -Rs but
those in the know also know why there's no point in doing so.
The bitsetting trick doesn't necessarily work with all DVD players.
Furthermore it's used to compensate for +R compatibility issues that -Rs
simply don't suffer from in the first place.
The reasons for this are purely historical and relate to the fact that -Rs
got there first but this is somewhat academic now.
The fact of the matter is that -Rs are inherently more compatible with older
stand alone players.
