What is the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R? null

DVD +R allows for editing after recording is complete, while DVD -R does not allow editing after recording is complete.

Nothing really since all players are able to play both r+ and r- discs before older players only played one type noth almost all players play both types of discs

It seems that the older computers generally use the -R, but recent computers use either.

I am not sure of the ACTUAL technical differences but, in my experience, +r works with more DVD players than -r.

minus DVD's are better for Movie Products of Camera and Photos

I think one is used for older dvd players and the other is for newer dvd players

Answer: DVD-R (pronounced "DVD dash R") and DVD+R (pronounced "DVD plus R") are nearly identical formats. The discs look the same and are both supported by most DVD-ROM drives and DVD burners. The only difference between the formats is the way they determine the location of the laser beam on the disc

DVD+R and DVD-R store information in different way and are backed by the DVD+RW Alliance and the DVD Forum, respectively.
