As the title says.

What is the difference between a traditional DVD rip and the DVD-R that is sometimes released?

DVD-R : is a recordable disc (purchased blank, single sided with 4.7 Gb of blank recordable space)


DVD-rip : is usually a term that torrent uploaders use to tell people that the data was taken off a commercially made DVD

Right, but sometimes instead of or in addition to a dvdrip, a DVDR is released.

Are we discussing downloads (not of torrent sites) and of actual commercially released dvds ?

DVD-R, most likely someone's backed up copy of God knows what, now a torrent

DVDR .... could have been recorded to a dvr's harddrive. Example might be a show on Sci-Fi channel that a person recorded to harddrive then upped the file to a torrent site.

Technically thought, iluvendo is quite correct,
DVD-R = blank media intended for dvd burners
DVD RIP = Copying a dvd's media to a computer.
