Using DVD-RAM discs
Formatting
A DVD-RAM disc can be formatted using either UDF (Universal Disk Format) or FAT format.
Use the format appropriate to your needs.
Format 5.2 GB/9.4 GB double-sided DVD-RAM discs one side at a time.
UDF (Universal disk format)
UDF is newly specified for the DVD family of products to enable a high level of data compatibility
between DVD-ROM, DVD-R and DVD-RAM. This new format is optimized for large capacity files, such
as Video/Audio capture and playback, to keep constant, high transfer rates.
•
When UDF is used for formatting, files may be displayed slower in Explorer.
FAT Format
FAT is the Windows OS embedded file system used for hard disk drives.
•
Compared with UDF, it is good for small random file access.
