Can you guys tell me what is the different between DVD-R and DVD+R ? Thank you very much?

Answer 1

They are different protocols/formats for burning DVDs.
You need to match the blank media to the burner/player to ensure they work together (many burners/players can handle both - but not all)

Answer 2

This question cannot be answered without a serious understanding of programming language. (Let's just say that they're apples and oranges, ok?) Since there is no standard for DVD burning, there is a war going on. I own a burner that uses BOTH dash R and plus R media. (DVD-R: dash R, DVD+R: plus R). DVD's use mpeg-2 compression encoding. The real war about to start is over HD DVD and Blue-Ray. Go to a neutral corner and come out swinging.

Answer 3

There are several types of DVD's. DVD-Video (often simply called DVD) stores materials that combine visuals and sound, such as motion pictures and concert performances. The discs are played using a DVD-Video player connected to a television set. DVD-Audio stores six channels of sound and can be played on a DVD-Audio player. A universal player can play DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, and audio CD's. DVD-ROM (Read-Only Memory) stores computer data or programs for use with a computer's DVD-ROM drive. Computer users can employ DVD-R (Recordable) and DVD-RW (Read/Write) drives to store their own data on special DVD's.

Answer 4

Both formats work equally well, but the + and - designations came about when two competing formats were being developed....it's a similar situation to when video players first came out, and there were two competing styles; VHS and BETA.
Nowadays most, if not all drives being produced can read and burn both the + and - formats. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

DVD-R can write to DVDs. DVD+R can write and re-write to DVDs.
