What is The Difference between DVD R+ and DVD R-

There has been plenty of debate between  two empty DVD disc which are available in the market. One is the DVD+R and the other is the DVD-R.  Plenty of myths have been circling around on which is better, but here I am to say that they have no difference apart from their developer and who supports which disc.

DVD-R/RW was developed by Pioneer and is hugely supported by the DVD Forum, an industry-wide group of hardware and software developers, and computer peripheral manufacturers.


On the other hand, the DVD+R/RW is supported by major computer manufacturers such as Sony, Philips, HP, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha, and others, and has recently been endorsed by Microsoft.

In the lay-mans term, its just like two different car manufacturers having seperate endorsements, yet offering the same product.

So is there really a difference in quality of the final product produced? Certainly not. It largely depends on what type of optical diver you have.  For best performance, make sure the optical driver you have installed in your computer is similar to the disc you intend to read/write.
