What is the difference between dvd-r and dvd r and which is better quality?

[Edit]

There are two kinds of DVD R there is DVD+R and DVD-R. My personal experience was buying a DVD recorder and bought the DVD+R media . The +R media would not work on my machine. Went back to the store and the sales associate explained that there were two kinds. -R and +R. Which recording media is more common and (s)he said -R. Obviously my recorder takes -R

Answer

there isnt one. if its dvd rw, its rewrite, and u can go back and re-edit dvds you burn. if its just dvd r its dvd write and it just means you can burn cds, but cant go back and change the contents of the cd later.
