difference between DVD+R and DVD-R

[Viper_7]

I know this is a newbie question but can somebody explain the difference between the two? Which one is better and why? Thanks.

You see the numbers at the bottom of the thread list??? They are page number. And if you click on them, you'll see plenty of other post about the same subject.

So ...a little effort please!

DVD-R is the older technology but is the most compatable as far as playback is concerned on most Set Top Component DVD Players, which will be most critical when you burn DVDs to share with others, I haven't had any DVD-R burns not playback on any of my friends and family Players, but I have had Component Players refuse to playback the DVD+R, my personal Top of the line Panasonic unit being one of those, now DVD+R as far as computer Data and playback will virtually never be a problem, if it can burn it, it can read it. I hope that helps you.

As much as you've already typed, you could've actually answered the posters question.

Above all else this is a help site, if you don't want to take the time to answer their questions, just don't respond at all!

Thank you very much 4ryan6. Actually I would have done more research, but I was on a pocket pc. The internet is slow and not easy to navigate on one of those. Once again, thank you very much for the help.
