Best Answer

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. However, almost all new DVD writers can record on both formats, so the differences are not an issue for most people.

The DVD-R is approved by the standards group 'DVD Forum' while the DVD+R is supported by the 'DVD+RW Alliance'.

The main functional differences between DVD-R and DVD+R are:

1) the DVD recorder's built-in defects management

2) the way the recorders format and rewrite DVDs

3) the price

More specifically:

DVD+R can instantly eject. It can partially record on television and partially on a PC. It has background formatting where you can be recording on the formatted part while it is still formatting the rest of the DVD. DVD+R has the ability to edit filenames, playlist, and movie and song titles.

DVD-R has to be formatted before you can record on it. Formatting has to be completed before the DVD-R will eject.
