A '''DVD+R''' is a writable [[optical disc]] with 4.7 [[gigabyte|GB]] (4.4 [[gibibyte|GiB]]) of [[computer storage|storage capacity]] (interpreted as <math>\approx 4.7\cdot10^9</math>, actually 2295104 sectors of 2048 [[byte]]s each). The format was developed by a coalition of corporations, known as the [[DVD plus RW Alliance|DVD+RW Alliance]], in mid [[2002]]. Although DVD+R has not yet been approved by the [[DVD Forum]], DVD+R discs are playable in 87%-95% of today's DVD players. |

In October of [[2003]], it was demonstrated that [[dual layer]] technology could be used with a DVD+R disc to nearly double the capacity to 8.5 GB per disc. Manufacturers have incorporated this technology into commercial devices since mid-[[2004]]. |

Unlike [[DVD plus RW|DVD+RW]] discs, DVD+R discs can only be written to once. Because of this, DVD+R discs are suited to applications such as nonvolatile data storage, audio, or video. |

One competing format is [[DVD-R]]. Hybrid drives that can handle both, often labeled [[DVD plus minus R|"DVD±R"]], are very popular since there is not yet a single standard for recordable DVDs. |

As of [[2004]], the market for recordable DVD technology shows little sign of settling down in favour of either the ''plus'' or ''dash'' formats, which has hurt the sales fortunes of domestic DVD [[video recorder]]s. The bitter memory of the [[Betamax]]-vs-[[VHS]] [[videotape format war|format war]] in the early [[1980s]] is still fresh in the mind of many consumers. |
