Thanks for the replies.  I downloaded k3b and k9copy last night,
and will try copying a DVD+R to a DVD-R this weekend.  It'll
probably work just fine.  The reason I wondered about a difference
in formats being more than just the data on the disk is that my
video DVD recorder has slightly different options between DVD+R
and DVD-R.  For example it will do "automatic chapter creation"
for DVD-R (and DVD-RW), but not for DVD+R.  If it is just recording
video data on a disk, why the difference?  Anyway, it will probably
have no affect with copying to a different format.

I've used k3b before on previous linux installations, but it didn't
handle DVD copying at that time.
