Best Answer

DVD-R and DVD+R are actually different formats developed by different organizations. DVD-R is the older of the two, and are better for burning DVD movies to play on your home DVD player. Alot of older DVD players do not support DVD+R type discs so burning your movies using DVD-R will make sure your movies work. DVD+R Have better performance in newer DVD drives, and is usually better for data backup and archiving.
