+R only comes in 4.7 GBs and can only be written on once. -R can have different variations.... i think

There is a very small difference.

Both can only be used once (once you have put something on it you cannot delete or put new things on) and both have the same maximum capacity.

Truly the only difference is the format they use to write files to the DVD. DVDR- came out first and so DVDR+ is supported by more DVD players. If you have the choice, it doesn't matter too much but I would go with DVDR+

My DVD doesn't write on +R

BTW can a DVD player (on computer) that is for -R only, read +R ?
