    As the title says.

    What is the difference between a traditional DVD rip and the DVD-R that is sometimes released?

    DVD-R : is a recordable disc (purchased blank, single sided with 4.7 Gb of blank recordable space)


    DVD-rip : is usually a term that torrent uploaders use to tell people that the data was taken off a commercially made DVD

    Right, but sometimes instead of or in addition to a dvdrip, a DVDR is released.

    Are we discussing downloads (not of torrent sites) and of actual commercially released dvds ?

    DVDR .... could have been recorded to a dvr's harddrive. Example might be a show on Sci-Fi channel that a person recorded to harddrive then upped the file to a torrent site.

    Technically thought, iluvendo is quite correct,
    DVD-R = blank media intended for dvd burners
    DVD RIP = Copying a dvd's media to a computer.
