There is no CD+R, so there are just three.
Read the compatability statements in the Specification that came with your DVD Burner. Follow those recommendations.
Buy only a small quantity of DVD media and TRY it. Then put that DVD in another player to see how it works out. When you find a media and brand that works, STICK WITH IT.

Um No, Wrong,
there were never any CD+Rs also just CD-Rs this is only for the DVDs
Commercial Answer
The truth is that the two competing technologies use different formats. No single company "owns" DVD and both technologies have their "champions".
DVD-R/RW was developed by Pioneer. Based on CD-RW technology, it uses a similar pitch of the helix, mark length of the 'burn' for data, and rotation control. DVD-R/RW is supported by the DVD Forum, an industry-wide group of hardware and software developers, and computer peripheral manufacturers. The DVD-R format has been standardized in ECMA-279 by the Forum, but this is a private standard, not an 'industry' ISO standard like the CD-R/RW Red Book or Orange Book standard.
DVD+R/RW is also based on CD-RW technology. DVD+R/RW is supported by Sony, Philips, HP, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha, and others, and has recently been endorsed by Microsoft. DVD+R/RW is not supported by the DVD Forum, but the Forum has no power to set industry standards, so it becomes a market-driven issue.
Technical Answer
DVD+R is a dvd disc that allows multiple layers for one disc where as dvd-r only allows one layer. They will not compete to become the de Facto standard, because they are both here to stay. Multi layer DVD+R can allow extra capacity per disc than DVD-R hence its high cost!

allright man i got this one..
CD-R is a writable cd and CD+R is a re-writable cd. means u can write over it again and again but on cd-r u can only burn and store things once... cause it will not let u re-write it. Only multisession does but thats bad so dont use it.
Dvd is the same thing but with DVD and not CD. hope it helps

The website explains all, but basically they are the same, but used by different manufacturers, so not necessarily compaitble

CD-R and DVD-R can only write once
CD+R and DVD+R can write more than once
CD+R = CDRW
DVD+R = DVDRW
