DVD Burned Area on disk

I prepared a DVD in DVDA3. The total size of the prepared folder is only 539MB. I burned 2 DVDs with nero. One was a DVD-R and the other was a DVD+R with a booktype set to DVD-ROM. When looking at the disks, I noticed that the DVD+R with a booktype set to DVD-ROM had a much smaller burnt area than the DVD-R did. Why is this?

Thanks
-Jim

Lead out.

To expand a little on what John said - typically DVD-R requires a certain minimum amount of burn, about 1GB - most burning software will automatically burn a longer lead-out when the amount of actual data is less than 1GB. DVD+R doesn't have the same requirements.

Thanks Scott. My posts are too long. I'm trying to make them shorter.
