Theres a couple of diffrences between dvd+r and dvd-r
firstly the speed at which the drive will write. dvd+ being the fastest at the moment
the price of media. currently dvd+ is slightly higher in price than dvd-
k now if you bare with me on this one ill try to explain. with a dvd- you cant leave the disc open. you must close it for it to be read. hence you dont need to do this with dvd+. so if you have say 1 gig of data which you want to put on a dvd then if you were to put it on a dvd- you would have to finalise it. i think the software does it for you anyway. with a dvd+ you can leave it un finalised and it will still be able to be read but say you have another 1 gig at a later date this can be added to the disc,
on the stand alone dvd writer ( the ones that go under the tv ) a dvd- wont put chapter points in dvd+r will.

not sure if dvd- does vbr. i know dvd+ does which is better than cbr ( constant bit rate )
