How is DVD-R related to DVD+R?
DVD+R and DVD-R are both write-once media and are used for permanent storage of your data. The only difference is which drive supports which media format. DVD-R recordable drives will only write to DVD-R media, and DVD+R recordable drives will only write to DVD+R media. Once written, the media can be read on most DVD recorders and players. Both are good for general consumer use, i.e., recording video, music, or images.
