Hi As far as I am aware, DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) records video information in a variety of codecs. It is most imortant that any DVD recording be encoded to playback on ANY DVD player. There seems to be a great deal of confusion here. My feeling is that all recordings should be at leats M-PEG 2. DVR (Digital Video Recording) is a relatively new beast. Once again, as I understand it, a DVR records directly to a HDD (Hard Disc Drive). I have a Panasonic DMR E500H machine which I consider fantastic - even though it may be dated. It is both a DVD recorder and a DVR in one machine. I have recorded more than 100 full length features on my HDD. As technology improves, so will DVD/DVR's Hope this helps

There is no physical difference between a DVD+R (DVD plus R) and a DVD-R (DVD dash R), but there are technical differences between the two formats.
