Yes, DMD-RO501 only writes to DVD+R/RW media, however it will read compatible pre-recorded DVD-R/RW media or CD-R/RW media. (NOTE: DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW require finalization before playable on other devices. So, please make sure any recordable media you attempt to play has been finalized on the original recorder)

For information on CD and DVD optical media drives on OpenVMS, please see Section 14.29. For information on the creation of OpenVMS media and of OpenVMS bootable media, a full step-by-step sequence is documented in the OpenVMS Ask The Wizard topic (9820). An abbreviated version of the sequence is included here. Recording (writing) of CD and DVD optical media requires a recording or media mastering application or tool, and both commercial and non-commercial options are available.

You cannot record on DVD-RAM using a CD-R/CD-RW recorder; you need a dedicated DVD-RAM recorder and authoring application.

This is an optical drive that will write both DVDs (Digital Versatile Disk, Data or Video) and CDs. The LightScribe DVD+/-RW / CDRW combination drive can read, write and, using the appropriate media, rewrite a variety DVD and CD media, including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL, DVD+RW and DVD-RW. DVD+R, DVD-R and CD-R media are compatible with this drive but are a single write media. The DVD+RW, DVD-RW and CD-RW media can be written to multiple times.

Only MULTIREAD CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives can read CD-RW media. Standard CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives cannot read the low-reflectance media used in CD-RW discs.

The EVERPLAY founders have designed the standard so that it is media independent. This gives the consumer the flexibility and choice, while allowing for the survival of the standard as media types eventually change. MPV is a broad standard developed by an association that produce purely technical standards. The MPV developers encourage its use in development of practical standards by other companies.

Just as CD-R was the nail in the coffin of the cassette, many industry insiders are predicting that DVD-RW will be the death of VHS. A DVD-RW is a disc which can be used over and over again and like a MiniDisc it shifts recordings to optimise the time left on the disc. You can therefore use it like you would a video cassette, or there is DVD-R discs which like a CD-R can only be used once.

There is not any different between 'DVD+RW for Data' and 'DVD+RW for Video', also between 'DVD+R for Data' and 'DVD+R for Video'. Which is nearly equal, 4.38 GB (a capacity shown will depend on the software) Both of them has quite same capacity but each of them has different unit, 1000 or 1024. This will lead each has this different size view.

On the face of a Ricoh DVD disc, It claims to have a 4.7 GB capacity. But it looks like less than 4.7 GB on a PC.

There are three recordable versions of DVD-ROM: DVD-R, DVD-RAM, and DVD-RW. DVD-R can record data once (sequentally only), while DVD-RAM and DVD-RW can be rewritten hundreds of thousands of times. Final versions of the DVD-R and DVD-RAM specifications were published in August 1997 (see 6.1). DVD-RW will be finalized by the end of 1998. These recordable media are not currently usable for home video recording (see 1.14), though home DVD-RAM recorders will eventually become available.

If you own a CD-RW drive, you have a choice of using either CD-R or CD-RW media. Write-once media (CD-R) is ideal for archiving and distribution applications. Rewritable media (CD-RW) is your best choice for ongoing backup and re-recording tasks.

Older CD-ROM drives cannot read CD-RW media. Only MultiRead CD-ROM drives assure the readability of CD-RW discs.

No, We never write or change any CD sent to us. We only read data from the media sent to us. Writing to a CD-RW after there are problems may make recovery impossible. It is highly recommended that you don't use any program that may write the CD-RW, such as scan disc. Also don't let anyone work on yor CD or DVD that doesn't promise a read only (nondestructive) recovery.

DVD+R is a non-rewritable format and it is compatible with about 89% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs. DVD+RW is...

To backup to a CD-RW, you must have packet writing software (DirectCD, InCD, etc.) installed. You will need to format your CD with this software. This will provide a drive letter for you to use as the destination for the backup job. EZBack-it-up has no built-in support for CD-R's. However, you can still use it to create an archive that you can then use with your CD burning software.

CD-R stands for Compact Disc-Recordable and can be recorded only once. You may continue to add files until the CD is full as long as the disc is not closed (write-protected). You cannot delete, rename, rearrange, or alter the files or file structure on the CD after recording. CD-RW stands for Compact Disc-Rewritable. It allows you to record the disc and then erase the entire disc and start over. You cannot select certain files to delete; you must erase the entire disc.

CD-R means "Compact Disc Recordable." It's a "write-once" media, which means the data (music) can't be overwritten, erased or reused (rerecorded). A completed or "finalized" CD-R can be played in virtually any standard CD player. CD-RW or "Compact Disc Rewritable," can be erased and rewritten (recorded) many times. The only drawback is a CD-RW won't playback in all CD players...the players must be CD-RW compatible.
