    Q: What is the difference between plus (+) and dash (-) media? Which one should I use?
    A: The dash format was created first by the DVD Forum. Certain members of the DVD Forum grew frustrated with the dash format and set about to create a newer (and supposedly better) format, which became the plus format. An in-depth article explaining the technical differences between the two can be found here: http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/113.

    As for which format you should use, this would depend on your drive type. There are some drives that tend to do better with -R/-RW discs, and there are some drives that tend to do better with +R/+RW discs. It is highly recommended that you look at the DVD Media Tests forum to determine what is best for your particular drive.
