dvdnoobie- Here we go Main difference DVD+R is Capable of being booktyped By certain DVD burners . This means that your burner records a Code on a DVD+R disc that tells your DVD-rom Drive /Burner or DVD player That your just recorded DVD+R media is actually a DVD-ROM disc ( Like a Movie DVD or a Software program ) Like a Commercial produced Disc ! And this gives you the ultimate in Disc compatablity ! If your drive will play DVD's it should play BOOKTYPED DVD+R's ! There are some technical differences ! DVD-R was developed first and then DVD+R was developed after looking at DVD-R capability's ! Real world use I've used both and other than the Booktype advantage with DVD+R there both about the same ! Except if your not Booktyping with DVD+R then DVD-R is a little ore compatable with most players versus Non- Booktyped DVD+R ! if your Dvd player is fairlyrecentlymade even that is not a problem ! most new players will play pizza if the cheese isn't to thick ! Also when buying media online ! DVD+R seems to be more expensive atleast in quality brands like Taiyo Yuden & verbatim ! But if you buy your media Retail( BRANDED ) on sale at Bestbuy or wherever? then DVD+R & DVD-R same price Go figure ! hope this helped ! sorry I may not be as educated or Eloquent on this subject as some of the other members but I'm always learning too !dvdnoobie hang in there & happy burning!

Lol; thanks catfreak. I've been to a lot of message boards over the years; and this is one of my absolute favorites.

Even if some people are frazzled and creaky. This forum is so full of every kind of info.

I hope this keeps up, because I love it!

My reasoning for getting +Rs is the compatability after you booktype/bitset them to DVD-ROM. If you don't booktype/bitset, or don't have a writer that supports it you should get one, if you can booktype/bitset learn how to, then do it. But before I had a writer that supported it -Rs were more compatable with my DVD players...

My reason for getting the +R discs is because my BenQ drives just love 'em ...

+R media burned at the speed of light and BenQ quality .. what an unbeatable combination!!
