DVD-R and DVD-RW discs
How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs
different?
The essential difference between a DVD-R and a
DVD-RW disc is the fact that a DVD-R disc can only
be written to once, whilst a DVD-RW disc can be
written to several times. In addition, its content can
be deleted. You can write to and delete a DVD-RW
disc approx. 1000 times.
Playback of writable discs on normal
DVD players
DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs written to in Video
mode can be played on some normal DVD players.
They must however be fi nalized fi rst. This process
fi xes the content of the disc so that it can be read
by other DVD players as a DVD-Video disc.
