Re-writable
blank DVD disc formats DVD-Ram, DVD-RW and DVD+RW have now
been added to the DVD media family allowing you to copy and copy
again your dvdrw using a PC based copier or home dvd video recorder
and DVD RW discs. The DVD family would be incomplete without these
rewritable versions - DVD RW has quickly established itself as 'THE'
most compatible of all the formats.
Designed for broad read compatibility with DVD-ROM drives, and video
players, DVD+RW discs offer users 4.7GB of rewritable storage capacity.
The DVD+RW format utilizes precise addressing (lossless linking)
along with CAV (video) and CLV (PC data) recording, making it ideal
for both professional applications and home video. DVD+RW is read-compatible
with most DVD Video and DVD-ROM drives. The DVD+RW and DVD+R discs
are not only two-way compatible, but also offer better performance
than other DVD recordable formats. Two-way compatibility means recordings
can be played on existing DVD players, and DVD-video discs can be
played on DVD+RW recorders. They are also compatible with PC-based
DVD-ROM drives. Naturally, DVD offers digital picture and sound
quality, plus durability and direct-access.
Many influential consumer electronics,
computer and recording media companies (including Philips, RCA,
Thomson, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Ricoh, Yamaha, Dell, and Verbatim)
also support the DVD+RW and DVD+R formats.
Key Features of DVD+R and DVD+RW - DVD+RW and DVD+R are high-performance
video and data recording media that play on both existing and future
DVD video and DVD-ROM players - the only formats to do so. High-quality
MPEG2 video recording and high capacity data storage Video recording
in the latest MPEG2 format ensures the best quality images on one
disc. And the 4.7GB capacity contains as much data as seven standard
CDs. Backwards compatible. The DVD+RW and DVD+R are the only DVD
recording media that are fully compatible with existing DVD-ROM
and DVD-Video players. Playback is possible on most DVD video or
DVD-ROM player. One disc for both video and data use. The DVD+ recordable
discs are suitable for both video and data recording, which means
no more searching for the correct type - Philips DVD+RW and DVD+R
work in both applications. No formatting or finalizing required
With DVD+RW it’s not necessary to carry out time-consuming
formatting before recording, or waste time finalizing afterwards.
