Well to answer your question i dont think you have much difference in cd-r & dvd-r IF you know the difference between CD & DVD.
IF you still want to know the difference then here you go.
DVD-R and CD-R differ primarily in capacity.
A DVD-R stores up to 4.5 GB or so, whereas a CD-R stores up to 700 MB of data.

DVD-R is a DVD recordable format. A DVD-R typically has a storage capacity of 4.71 GB (or 4.38 GiB), although the capacity of the original standard developed by Pioneer was 3.95 GB (3.68 GiB). Both values are significantly larger than the storage capacity of its optical predecessor, the 700 MB CD-R – a DVD-R has 6.4 times the capacity of a CD-R. Pioneer has also developed an 8.54 GB dual layer version, DVD-R DL, which appeared on the market in 2005.

Data on a DVD-R cannot be changed, whereas a DVD-RW (DVD-rewritable) can be rewritten multiple (1000+) times. DVD-R(W) is one of three competing industry standard DVD recordable formats; the others are DVD+R(W) and DVD-RAM. (wiki)

I hope this helps.

DVD-R=Digital Video Disc Recordable, 4.7 GB of Space

CD-R=Compact Disk Recordable, 700 MB of Space

This is the only difference between both of them.
