DVD +R supports 4x speed where dvd-r is mostly 2.4x speed.
+r is better supported on most domestic dvd players.
is your dvd drive +r or -r drive.

I'm receiving my sony a510a drive tomorrow which supports
+ and - so it makes not difference to me.
From what I have read, +r/+rw is better for video.
costs a bit more that -r though.
