How do I know whether to buy DVD-R or DVD+R to record on a Pioneer VHS-DVD recorder? I just can't seem to get the difference through my head.

I think +R or +RW means you can re-record over and over on the same DVD and just R means you can only record once. However, I'm not the best person to be answering this because I bought a DVD recorder in August and havn't managed to work it yet!

If a recorder is able to record on +R (called plus R) and -R (called dash R), you should see no difference. The two formats exist largely because two competing consortiums developed them.

to be honest with you you need to know the compatibility for your dvd recorder the manual should tell you if you can use dvd-r or dvd+r or both. As far as what the answer the other person gave you make sure when choosing r or rw which is writable and re-writable; meaning one is to copy on only and the other you can copy on and copy over, make sure the name brand is compatible with your name brand dvd player. I know this because i've just recently installed one to my dvd player and all name brand blank dvd's was not compatible with my device.
