CD-R is CD Writable or CD Writer, the CD is read only after writing.
CD-RW is a ReWritable CD, many writes may be done.

DVD-R
DVD-RW same as above for DVDs (digital video disks)

The + and - for DVDs indicate different standards for writing to the disk

the 16x is the speed of the CD. At 1x the speed of the disk is 44KHz, the rest are multiples of that. Speeds writen like 48x/24x/12x refer to the read/write/rewrite speeds.
