Just remember:
Operation Record
Common Name Burn
Media CD-R/ROM, DVD-R/ROM
Filesystem ISO9660 (readable by all recent OSes)
Operation Packet Write
Common Name Rewrite
Media CD-RW, DVD-RAM/RW/+RW
Filesystem UDF (readable by Linux, WinME and WinXP)
Now understand you might have some incompatibility with DVD-RW/+RW
"rewrite" media when used in various DVD-ROM drives (estimated 70-75%
compatibility rate). DVD-RAM is only compatible with its own drives
(long story, has to do with its advanced features more for archiving,
than consumer use).
That's why DVD-R/+R "record" media (haven't verified +R yet though) is
recommended for near-100% compatibility.
First generation DVD-ROM drives sometimes have trouble reading even
DVD-R, let alone forget DVD-RW/+RW.
That was the #1 reason I bought a DVD-RAM instead of a DVD-ROM drive
back in 1998 -- it reads _everything_ (even DVD-RW/+RW which came out
later). It's like having blood type AB -- can take anyone else's, but
can only give to itself.
