DVD-R and DVD+R: Are they not the same size?

[DVantrease]

A friend of mine got a new dual DVD-R/+R burner. He was going to copy a DVD-R movie onto a DVD+R disc, but Nero told him there was not enough room on the blank DVD+R disc. He then popped in a blank DVD-R disc and it burned fine. Does a DVD+R have less space then a DVD-R?

Nope, i think dvd+r/w fits about 7 MB less than dvd-r/w. I will see if I can get the exact size.

Blank DVD-R 4,489MB 4,706,074,624 bytes or 4.383GB
Blank DVD+R 4,483MB 4,700,372,992 bytes or 4.377GB
