I was wondering what are the SPECIFIC differences between DVD+R and DVD-R.
If someone knows, please enumerate them to me. Thanks.

DVD-R - a DVD format that allows you to write once. It is a competitor of DVD+R, and is therefore not compatible with that format. Some new DVD writers can write in both DVD-R and DVD+R, and most DVD player can read both.
If you don't like that answer, how about this one?

As DVD recording comes of age and the prices come down, more of us will likely be adding DVD writers to our computers. But what gives with these dueling formats?
Anyone who was around twenty years ago might remember the battle between the two video tape formats: VHS (Victor Home System) and Betamax (Sony). Fast forward to the twenty-first century and we have a similar battle of the formats with DVD.
The disks are pretty much the same, but the writing process is different. DVD+R is a bit more advanced, but the disks often cost more than the older DVD-R format.
Another thing to consider is what format your DVD recording software works best in. I had a friend that couldn't get his software to work and it turned out he needed to use DVD-R. Now he's a regular DVD pirate—Arrgh, just kiddin' matey!
My suggestion? Pay the extra bucks for a writer that supports both formats or wait until the dust settles.

Thanks for your answer.
I already have a writer that supports both format. Sony DRU-800A, a great unit. I just wanted to know what DVD blank disc to use when burning a dvd movie, and then play it on any non-PC DVD player.
Just make sure your home dvd player supports that media format: DVD-R/+R/RW.
Good brands include: FujiFilm, sony, MAxell, Princo, TDk etc.
