DVD-RAM
The DVD-RAM can be compared with the hard disk and can be written up to 100,000
times on average. The disc can be played on DVD-RAM compatible players,
recorders and computers. The recording is made in DVD Video Recording format
(VR). Movies or parts of movies can be edited and deleted. The deletion of movies
releases previously used storage space. The creation of playlists does not take up any
additional storage space.
Dual channel sound and 16:9 format are supported in addition to the TIME SLIP
function.
DVD-R/+R (Recordable)
DVD-R/+R can only be recorded once. Movies or parts of movies can be deleted during
processing, but storage space is still taken up and cannot be used for other movies.
Through finalization, the DVD-R/+R becomes a DVD-V which can be played on other
units.

DVD-RW(V)/+RW (Rewritable)

played on other units. A finalized DVD-RW(V) can be reformatted and rewritten.
Formatting deletes all data!
A +RW becomes a DVD-V by creating a Top Menu. 69
