DVD-RAM
Suited for archival purposes, DVD-RAM is catered to niche auciences: It's the most expensive form of DVD media but also the most durable and rarest.
DVD-R
This write-once-only format is the cheapest form of DVD media, widely available and compatible with a wide range of home DVD players.
DVD+R
Another write-once-only format in the same mould as DVD-R. But the media's compatibility with older DVD products raises questions on its potential as a video storage source.
DVD-RW
The DVD Forum's DVD-RW was the first rewritable DVD format marketed but has since been overtaken by the faster and more versatile DVD+RW media of the DVD Alliance.
DVD+RW
Fast, versatile and supported by many DVD drives and players, the expensive DVD+RW media is an all-rounder media that does everything from storing data to videos clips.
