#REDIRECT [[DVD recordable#DVD+R and DVD+RW (DVD "plus")]]
A '''DVD+R''' is a writable [[optical disc]] with 4.7 GB of [[computer storage|storage capacity]]. 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 are expected to incorporate this technology into commercial devices sometime during [[2004]].
