Not a DVR-RW.

Yes, the standards can be confusing and compatibility with older DVD players a problem for either the +RW or -RW standards. Nearly all of the newer DVD players will play +R and -R, the +RW and -RW are more questionable because they are designed for use by a PC as a rewrittable media. The +RW/-RW standard is a great way to back up your PC since you can rotate and rewrite on the disks. There is a way for both standards to exist well into the future, unlike a standard for tapes (e.g. VHS vs. Beta). Even if your PC doesn't natively support +RW, there are drivers or software that will support the format. Most who are writting something more permanent (e.g. home video) should use the +R or -R. The +R and +RW are the newer standard which has some technology advantages (e.g. less problems with buffer underrun) and faster. A new HP internal DVD writer supports all four formats (-R, +R, -RW, +RW). Don't be surprised if the different standards stay in place and all new players support all the standards. We may not be done with the standards either, a third standard could come in to play using a higher spectrum light (blue) which would allow allow a higher capacity media.
