Answer 1

A DVD+R is mostly usesd for data like photos, music, short videos. A DVD-R is for movies and yes, it will play on a PS2

Answer 2

"A DVD+R is a writable optical disc with 4.7 GB (4.37 GiB) of storage capacity (more precisely, 2295104 sectors of 2048 bytes each). The format was developed by a coalition of corporations, known as the DVD+RW Alliance, in mid 2002. Since the DVD+R format is a competing format to the DVD-R format, which is developed by the DVD Forum, it has not been approved by the DVD Forum, which claims that the DVD+R format is not an official DVD format.
In October of 2003, it was demonstrated that double layer technology could be used with a DVD+R disc to nearly double the capacity to 8.5 GB per disc. Manufacturers have incorporated this technology into commercial devices since mid-2004"

"DVD-R (pronounced as either DVDR, DVD "Dash" R or DVD "minus" R, depending on country) is a DVD recordable format. A DVD-R has a larger storage capacity than a CD-R, typically 4.7 GB (or 4.38 GiB) instead of 700 MB, although the capacity of the original standard developed by Pioneer was 3.95 GB (3.68 GiB). Pioneer has also developed an 8.54 GB dual layer version, which appeared on the market in 2005. A DVD-R can be written to only once, whereas a DVD-RW (DVD-rewritable) can be rewritten multiple times"

Answer 3

dvd-r is needed to play in a dvd player or ps2
dvd+r is for data
