Re: [tech4all] help needed, what is DVD RAM?

DVD RAM:

A DVD format wherein DVD-RAM discs can be recorded
and erased repeatedly but are only compatible with
devices manufactured by the companies that support the
DVD-RAM format. DVD-RAM discs are typically housed in
cartridges. DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM are supported by
Panasonic, Toshiba, Apple Computer, Hitachi, NEC,
Pioneer, Samsung and Sharp. These formats are also
supported by the DVD Forum.

Another explanation:
DVD-RAM (DVD–Random Access Memory) is a disc
specification presented in 1996 by the DVD Forum,
which specifies rewritable DVD-RAM media and the
appropriate DVD writers. DVD-RAM media are used in
computers as well as camcorders and personal video
recorders since 1998.

Compared with other DVDs, DVD-RAM is more closely
related to hard disk technology, as it has concentric
tracks instead of one long spiral track. Unlike the
competing formats DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW, you
do not need special DVD burning software to write or
read DVD-RAMs on a computer. DVD-RAMs can be accessed
like a usual floppy disk or hard drive.
