dvd-r/dvd+r quick question

[The_Lyrics]

what is the difference between these two types of blank dvds?

They're two different 'standards' of the same technology (DVD technology). Wikipedia states that "There are a number of significant technical differences between the dash (or often, incorrectly called "minus") format and the plus format, though most consumers would not notice the difference.

I have used both formats and I haven't seen any appreciable difference. Most DVD readers and burners do not distinguish between them anyway, so basically get the ones that are cheaper.
