what's the difference between dvd+r and dvd- r?

I always use dvd-r i got some +r 's any big difference

Present day, there is essentially no difference to the user between the two types. The way the discs are recorded is the same, but the format of the recording is different. Modern DVD players will play both formats. Older DVD players may be more selective; some will prefer DVD+R and others DVD-R, and there is no way to tell in advance which one (there used to be long lists of players showing which ones will play which format, but that is no longer valid).

The recording capacity is the same. Disc prices are the same. There are minor differences in editing capabilities between DVD+R and DVD-R recorders. You can get computer drives that will record both types, but home DVD recorders are either DVD+R (Phillips) or DVD-R (Pioneer). So be sure you get the right type of disc for the recorder you have. DVD-R is the official standard recognized by the DVD forum. Both formats are available in re-writeable form (DVD+RW, DVD-RW) dvd-r you can record on it once.

dvd+r you can record over old stuff. well both you can record stuff on The first answer is wrong. They are on the right track though. They are thinking of DVD+RW (Read+Write).

The "difference" is in the DVD "Players" that play the movies. So, depending on which DVD Player you have (and MOST) are DVD-R then you should copy things IN THAT FORMAT. Some, MOST these days are able to play BOTH +R and -R, thank god. When you buy a new DVD player, LOOK to see if it plays -r+r and if possible, mp3's!!
