DVD-RAM
The DVD-RAM can be compared with the hard disk and can be written to 100,000 times 
on average. The disc can only be played on DVD-RAM-compatible players. 
The recording occurs in DVD Video Recording format (VR). Movies and parts of movies 
can be edited and deleted. The deletion of movies frees previously used storage space. 
The creation of playlists does not require any additional storage space.
Dual-channel sound and 16:9 format are supported in addition to the TIME SLIP function. 
DVD-R/+R (Recordable)
The DVD-R/+R can only be recorded once. Movies or parts of them 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 DVD-V that can be played on other units.

DVD-RW(V)/+RW (Rewritable)
DVD-RW/+RW is rewritable and erasable. You must format the disc to be able to rewrite it 
again. Through finalization, the DVD-RW(V) becomes a DVD-V that can be played on 
other units. A finalized DVD-RW(V) can be reformatted and rewritten. Formatting deletes 
all data! A +RW becomes a DVD-V on creating a Top Menu.

DVD-R DL/+R DL (Double Layer DVD / Dual Layer DVD) 
The data are saved on two parallel layers. You have more 
space available. If the laser changes layers during playback, brief 
image and sound distortions may occur.
You cannot switch layers during a recording.
The recording stops when the storage space on Layer 1 is full. 
You must close Layer 1 to be able to record on Layer 2.
After finalization, these formats can only be replayed on DVD-R DL/+R DL/+RW-
compatible players.
