What's the differnce between DVD-R and DVD+R?

And which one is better for burning a movie to it?


Answer:

These are indeed two different types of recordable discs. HOWEVER, DVD-R's are far more compatible near "regular" DVD players out there, though MOST of the newer players can support playing only just about any format.

If you've get an older "regular" DVD player, or if you plan to play your burned DVD on someone else's "regular" DVD player, your safest bet would be to text onto DVD-R discs.

And here's another "hint". When burning your movie, burn it at the SLOWEST speed possible. You'll have smaller number chance of problems near your finished disc.

Good luck.
They are different formats used to make a DVD. DVD+R is the most popular, if you want a more all-inclusive disk that will play in most every DVD player, stick near the DVD+R.
In reality, near really is no major difference next to + or - (dash). It's personal preference. IMO, I use the +R most of the times and it works fine next to burning movies. I use mostly Memorex 16x +Rs or HP 16x +Rs.
It's just the bearing they're formatted.

Both work equally well for burning

movies.

The switch is not the DVD.

The key is the recorder.

Use a regular marketplace recorder

and you will burn better DVD's than

recording beside a PC.
DVD-R/RW is an official format approved by the DVD Recording committee as a all-inclusive standard.



DVD+R/RW is an unofficial format developed by Philips (inventor of the CD)



I stick with DVD- as here are less compatibility issues beside standalone players.
