I believe that DVD+R is better than DVD-R. Both will work in pretty much any player, and it doesn't really matter what you use. If you're really interested, try this: http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/113

I remember reading that the term DVD (minus) R was actually put out by the + group to give it a lesser feel to their media. Also people might tell you that +R has better data integrity mechanism, but thats needs to implemented in the HW and normally never is...

And I was trying to highlight that the term "Plus" was used allegedly as a marketing strategy by the DVD Alliance to give the impression that their media is better then the Forums and that the term "Minus" was actually put out by them (allegedly). With the second point, people who tend to big up the + format and talk about how it is better at protecting your data, but don't mention that the extra functionalty is implemented in the hardware and most devices don't actually have that function built in to it. |

The way I understood it was that the "official" format is DVD-R, and DVD+R was developed by a bunch of dudes as a low cost alternative to DVD-R (I believe DVD-R has high licensing or royalty fees compared with +R).
Anyway, a while ago I wrote a bitrate calculator, so I researched the sizes of various media. DVD-R has another 5 or 6MB extra storage space over +R (but I wouldn't use it for the simple reason if you need to copy that disc back to a +R) Code:
+------------------------+--------+---------+------------+ | Media Type/Description | MB | KB | Bytes | +------------------------+--------+---------+------------+ | CD 21min/185MB (80mm) | 185 | 189000 | 193536000 | | CD 74min/650MB (120mm) | 650 | 666000 | 681984000 | | CD 80min/700MB (120mm) | 703 | 720000 | 737280000 | | CD 90min/790MB (120mm) | 791 | 810000 | 829440000 | | CD 99min/870MB (120mm) | 870 | 891000 | 912384000 | | DVD-R/DVD-RW 4.7GB | 4488 | 4595776 | 4706074624 | | DVD+R/DVD RW 4.7GB | 4483 | 4590208 | 4700372992 | | DL DVD+R 8.5GB | 8152 | 8347650 | 8547993600 | +------------------------+--------+---------+------------+ |

Its hard to say which one is better, it's all depends on the DVD media manufacturer.
Generally I prefer a DVD+R from a good manufacturer like Taiyo Yuden. Also, DVD+R discs can be bit-setted if the DVD writer supports it, so compatibility rises to DVD-R levels. |

When i burned a vob file aka TS_video onto a DVD+R, it works fine on a DVD player. when i use a DVD-R with the same files. it doesnt work on a DVD player. Thats kind of why dvd+rs are more expensive than the DVd-rs.
all summed up in just 3 sentences. just stick with DVD+r's. u'll be fine. i havent had any problems with DVD+rs but with DVd-rs, it's a bizatch..... |
