Logical formatting must be executed to write a file to a DVD-RAM. It is possible to write a file to a logically formatted DVD-
RAM in the same way as writing a file to a floppy disk or hard disk.
If you write using Roxio Creator LJB, because the format is different, it will no longer be possible to write using applications
