Explanation

DVD+R (DVD Recordable) is a write-once optical format. The 'R' designation means the disc can be written to exactly one time. Once data is burned onto a DVD+R, it cannot be erased or overwritten. This is in contrast to DVD+RW (ReWritable), which supports multiple write cycles. Because DVD+R discs are write-once, they are often preferred in forensic and archival contexts where data integrity and immutability are important.
