What are the differences in DVD-R and DVD+R media?

[Delirious]

Like which one should I use for one and what if I try to use say DVD-R for movies?

Not really a whole lot to be honest. DVD+R supports a couple more advanced features, like recording and formating at the same time, and exciting stuff like a different error management system. But for 95% of people they're identical. However, DVD-R was released first, so if you're burning movies for playing on older DVD drives, -R is probably the way to go.

I'm not sure about other countries, but -R is alot more common here also.
