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

Not much! Both can be played on most players. DVD plus R has the ability of recording on several layers with the proper recorder, DVD dash R is single layer.Suggest you "Google" the question as there are several answers available-mostly technical.

Check your DVD players manual. It will tell you which format, either DVD + or DVD - if in doubt buy DVD - as it will play in most DVD players.

DVD-R are more compatible with Players & have a little more memory almost 4.7 GB. DVD+DL & DVD-DL are for recording 8.5 GB on Two Layers with Dual Layers DVD+DL & DVD-DL. I use DVD-R for 4.7 GB & DVD+DL for 8.5 GB

Sorry, I'm not too knowledge but this machine supports DVD + & -R, DVD +RW & -RW, DVD + & -R Dual Layer, CD-R, CD-RW blank media standards & others.I like to buy Sony DVD -R. However, if you buy DVD +R you can skip through scenes and not have to fast forward.Hope that helps.

Hi Booker , yes this is right. All the DVD-R's can be only used once. If you want to re use the disks, Buy DVD-RW which can be used multiple times.

The ones I received are just DVD+R and were not compatible for my device, I could not use them.

When DVD media technology was first developed, the plus (+) and dash (-) formats had different writing/reading specifications. Today, most DVD writers and readers work with no noticeable performance differences between DVD+R and DVD-R disc formats. Check with your manufacturer's suggested DVD format to ensure compatibility - especially with older units. (From Verbatim Website...)

The Manual officially says no to DVD+Rs, but I have some DVD+Rs that I have burned and I am able to play them without any Errors. Do not have DVD-Rs to test. I used Power2Go to burn the DVDsBut generally I found that my upscaled DVDs & DVD+Rs from BDP-1590 do not look very well on my LCD compared to my previous 3 yr old Philips DVD recorder.

Hi, supported playable disc are: DVD, DVD+RW/+R/+R DL (+VR mode), DVD-RW/-R/-R DL (VR mode/video mode), Music CD/Super VCD, CD-R/-RW. Your DVD-R will work on this unit as long as it contains supported files like mp3 or jpeg. -Ely

You mean DVD + ? Yes, you can. I use both of regular DVDS, + and _ , and I bought some AZO DVD + and DVD - because they're supposed to be better quality. It's just when you're burning it if it's a + you have to use a blank + and if it's a - you have to use a blank -.

A DVD is a DVD irrelevant of what you put on it (data of a video) The difference is how it is formatted. If you format it on your PC you can use it for data or video. If you format it on a DVD burner you can only use it for video unless you reformat it on your PC. If the DVD is a "-R" or "+R" you will not be able to re-write it. The difference between "-" or "+" has to do with how it is finished after writing ("+" is automatically) ("-" is manually (you have to tell it to finish writing)) RW DVD are re-writable and R DVD are not re-writable.

I use AZO DVD-R & DVD+R because they're supposed to be good quality, but the specs say you can use pretty much any one as long as it's formatted. You just have to make sure the dupe disc is the same type as your formatted disk.

Linda: Not sure if this will help or not, but some older players such as the Panasonics require only DVD - disks. If you are using DVD+ disks, they will not work in some older players. Newer players can accept both the + and the - versions. Hope this helps.

We have recorded many dozens of dvd's on our machine using -r's. Use -rw's if you plan to reuse the disc. For best quality playback use the 4 hr recording speed or less.
