Advantages of DVD+R:
According to the claims of the DVD Alliance, using a DVD+R (or DVD+RW) recorder will provide the following advantages over a DVD-R recorder:

- Ability to record one DVD disc partially on PC and partially on television.
- Background formatting: while the disc is being formatted, you can simultaneously record on already-formatted portions of the same disc.
- Enhanced ability to edit file names, movie and song titles, and playlists.
