The Book Type is a field of four bits at the start of every DVD (in the physical format information section of the control data block) that indicates what the physical format of the disc is. Many devices will use this "Book Type Field" to determine how the disc should be treated.
In the +R format disks, you can write to this area..... in the -R format disks the area is already written on and can't be re-written to so you can't booktype to a -R disk.
