What is a DVD-R?
A DVD-R (Digital Versatile Disc Recordable) is a WORM (Write Once, Read Multiple)
media with a net capacity of 4.7 GB. DVD-Rs and conventional DVDs (you buy in a
store) are not physical identical: DVD-Rs are burned with a laser (DVD recorder),
whereas conventional DVD-Rs are pressed in a factory. While they're not physically
identical, they work just the same.
Hardware Requirements
Your system must be equipped with a DVD player which can read DVD-Rs.
