Answer 1

The DVD-R DVD+R difference can easily be summarized by the following:



The DVD-R/RW standard was developed by Pioneer, and is used primarily by Apple and Pioneer. These “minus“ discs can only be written to in one layer on the discs surface. In addition, this format is supported by the DVD forum, but is in no way an industry standard. DVD-R/RW discs are cheaper than the “plus” format.



The DVD+R/RW format is supported by Philips, Dell, Sony, HP, and Microsoft. These discs can be written to in multiple layers, giving them slightly better and more disc storage than the “minus“ format. Because of this additional capacity, they are slightly more expensive than “minus“ discs.



This link should tell you everything you need to know. I know the differences, but found you a link to reference this.

Answer 2

DVD+R and DVD-R are all essentially the same thing, but used for different applications effectively. DVD-R was created first in 1997 and the standard for many DVD movie players. DVD+R is the newer format (only approved in 2005) and not as many older DVD drives can accept it. Most drives 2006 and up accept both.

Answer 3

a dvd r has more layers than a dvd-r which means the dvd r can hold more data. so the dvd r would b better. if it was a dvd rewritable it would be dvd-rw
