In the process of looking at new Pc's and wanted to copy all my old camcorder tapes to DVD.
Can anyone tell me if the Pioneer NSDV55 plays the DVD R+ format without any problems or will I have to buy a DVD R- writer instead.

No it won`t, it will only read DVD-R discs in video mode - DVD-R+ is not supported by the majority of japanese manufacurers.
