No I did mean computer dvdrom drives. If they're manufactured 2004 or
later they should always be able to read everything. Many dvdrom drives
manufactured in 2003 can also read everything, but there probably were
still some sold who couldn't read DVD+R or DVD+RW. "Read everything"
here means "meant to read everything", there are always some
combinations of dvdrom drive and media brand which don't work. And the
probability of some dvdrom drive failing to accept DVD+R media XYZ are
not higher than a failure with DVD-R media XYZ, for drives of 2004 or
later (and many earlier).

Consumer video players can usually read DVD+R(W) since about 2004, but
the packaging will say. Some players can also read some brands of media
types for which they aren't specified, so it's worth trying.

Burners aren't so much the issue, assuming you stick to the media
varieties which the burner can actually burn. And obviously assuming the
burner was designed to burn all formats.

This all from my relatively small sample size.
