Educate me, please…

You all will surely be able to tell me what this is about…

I was buying dvds last night and picked up a package marked “DVD-R” and this guy standing there said, “You don’t want ‘DVD-R’. You want ‘DVD+R’.” Huh? Is there a difference? I got the ones the guy said to get. Am I gullible? Was he telling the truth?

    There’s really no difference. DVD-R is the actual standard. But a group of people came out with DVD+R so they didn’t have to pay lisence fees and such.

    So they both do the same thing. Just go with whichever is cheapest.
