Using DVD-RAM media
DVD-RAM is a write many times medium created for long life and many overwrites. DVD-RAM media
can hold any data or video format that can be written to DVD-ROM. DVD-RAM is compatible with most
modern computer DVD-ROM drives but only some consumer electronic devices. Check with your
device’s manufacturer to see if it supports the DVD-RAM read function.
Using single and double-sided DVD-RAM media
DVD-RAM media is available in single-sided and double-sided versions.
The 2.6 GB and 4.7 GB versions are single-sided. The 9.4 GB versions are double-sided. To access the data

the drive.
