There is a whole comparison chart for +/- media i've seen floating around and to be honest there wasn't that much in it! I know the big corps like MS and such all jumped on the + media band wagon early on!
As for the copying you could use dvd decrypter to make an image then burn it back. As far as the software goes it doesn't care if it's +/- media just that you've got the correct h/w to read/write!

Hope this helps in some way or another!

Well the PS2 is sort of a tricky thing, it's sorta like this:

V1-V6 Only play DVD-R
V7-V8 Play DVD-R and DVD+R
V9-V10 Play DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW.

Check here to see which version you have.
