...about DVD-RW ("dash RW")

DVD-RW (DVD ReWritable Media) is an interesting form of DVD disc.

This re-writable disc format utilizes the 4.7 Gigabyte storage space of the DVD disc for computer data of any kind. It is also possible to create a working DVD-VIDEO project on an R/W disc, as well, but -RW discs seem to be less compatible than -R or +R discs.

These discs are written, like DVD-Rs, using a special DVD-RW burner.
