There's no problem if you're talking about compatability between the two, but more information would be helpful. Whats are you trying to copy?

The difference is relatively minor internal differences in the two discs. As long as your DVD drive can read from DVD+ discs and write to DVD- discs, it should work.

The DVD is one of those holiday one's taken by a friend on his dvd cam.
and burned on his pc to dvd+

So just "Copy disk" in your usual DVD burning software, (Nero most probably, although some versions don't do DVD so make sure.), copy an "image" of the disk onto the hard drive, insert a -R DVD and write it. PCs can nearly always read and write to both.

If you don't have DVD copying software it is available on the net for free, but the only ones I know are a bit illegal so I'll keep it zipped for the time being!

If you really can't find the software it might be easier to just ask your friend to put it on a -R disc or ask him for the video files so you can watch it on your PC. (You should be able to watch it on your PC anyway)

Just make an ISO image using PowerISO or even Nero image, then once you have the image you can burn as many copies as you like from it.
