DVD Digital Versatile Disk . A removable storage device for video and data
files. We make a distinction between:
• DVD-R or DVD+R, disks that can be recorded once only.
• DVD-RW or DVD+RW, disks that are rewritable.
Recordings on rewritable DVD disks can be done in several sessions
(prior to disk finalisation).
DVDs recorded can always be played back on this device, but to make a
recorded DVD playable on a computer and other DVD players a process
of “Disk Finalisation” needs to be performed.
