■
Since the disc is based on the DVD-R/-RW standard, it will be filled with
dummy data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you write
only a small amount of data, it might take time to fill in the dummy data.
■
Two types of DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs are on the market: data
and video. Use a video disc to store video data. You can use video
discs on a DVD recorder as well as on your computer's DVD-ROM
drive. You cannot use data discs on a DVD recorder.
■
DVD-RAM formatted by FAT32 cannot be read in Windows 2000
without DVD-RAM Driver Software.
■
When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be
careful not to write to the wrong drive.
■
Be sure to connect the universal AC adapter before you write or rewrite.

writing. Writing is finished if you can eject DVD-RAM media.

software.
