CD-R is a blank, recordable cd that holds up to 700mb. It is NOT rewritable\n\nCD-RW is the same as a CD-R, but it can be rewritten.\n\nDVD-R is a format of DVD, sometimes more compatible with older DVD players.  It holds 4.7gb (~4700mb).  There is also a rewritable version of this named DVD-RW\n\n\nDVD+R is another format of DVD, it can also hold 4.7gb.  There are rewritable versions of this that are DVD+RW.\n\nDVD-DL is another DVD format in which there are two layers.  This doubles the capacity of the DVD so it can hold 8.5 gb (~8500mb).  These are newer and more expensive in the consumer market; however, almost all of the DVD movies you have in your home are printed on DVD-DL.\n\nI hope I helped!

It's just two different formats of DVD media.  If you plan to use either make sure you're DVD writer is compatible with the type you plan to use.  Most of the newer drives can let you use both types. They will say something like DVD±R (DVD +/- R).\nCheck out the two links below.

-r & +r are 2 different standards (read, ways) of burning DVDs in a dvd writer.\n\n-r/+r burns read only discs that can only be written to once, as opposed to +/-RW which allows you to wipe the discs and start again.\n\nRead the attached article at wikipedia for more info!\n\nHope this helps..

It is dual layer dvd, meaning you can burn 2 layers on certain types of dics and instead of fitting 4.7 gb's you can fit 9.4gb.  Pretty nice to have!

The latest version of Nero is a choice that is very simple to operate and there is a data DVD option in it.  \n\nA side benefit is that you can back up your computer regularly in case of crashes or file corruptions.

Different DVD formats for recording and playing. Generally, the + seems a better choice. \n\nDual Layer recording allows DVD-R and DVD+R discs to store significantly more data, up to 8.5 Gigabytes per disc, compared with 4.7 Gigabytes for single-layer discs. DVD-R DL (dual layer — see figure) was developed for the DVD Forum by Pioneer Corporation, DVD+R DL (double layer — see figure) was developed for the DVD+RW Alliance by Sony.\n\nA Dual Layer disc differs from its usual DVD counterpart by employing a second physical layer within the disc itself; how the drive with Dual Layer capability accesses the second layer is that it could shine the laser through the first semi-transparent layer -- This is something that normal DVD recordable discs do not have. The layer change mechanism in some DVD players can show a noticeable pause, as long as two seconds by some accounts. More than a few viewers have worried that their dual layer discs were damaged or defective.\n\nDVD recordable discs supporting this technology are backward compatible with some existing DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.[citation needed] Many current DVD recorders support dual-layer technology, and the price point is comparable to that of single-layer drives, though the blank media remains significantly more expensive.\n\nJust how compatible is the DVD+R/+RW format?\nThe most comprehensive independent research performed by Intellikey Labs found that DVD+R is compatible with over 95% of current DVD players and drives, which makes it the most compatible of all recordable DVD formats. Furthermore, a DVD+RW video recorder is based on the normal DVD-Video specifications, hence it is very unlikely that need to buy a new player with dedicated playback functionality or compatibility logos to play your discs. Even the edits you make on your DVD+RW discs are DVD-Video compatible.

CD's dont have the plus and minus conventions, only DVDs do.  This is because, there are two competing groups that manufacture DVDs, the "plus" forum headed by HP, Dell, etc. that manufacture DVD+RW, DVD+R, etc. and the DVD Forum headed by Pioneer which manufacture DVD-RW, DVD-R, etc.\n\nHence, CD-R and CD-RW are valide conventions, CD+R and CD+RW are not.
