Currently there are three competing technologies for rewritable DVDs: DVD-RAM,
DVD+RW and DVD-RW. DVD-RAM is considered a highly reliable format, as the discs
have built-in error control and a defect management system. Therefore, DVD-RAM
is perceived to be better than the other DVD technologies for traditional
computer usage tasks such as general data storage, backup and archival, though
the Mt. Rainier standard for DVD+RW somewhat lessens the DVD-RAM format's
perceived advantage. Curiously, DVD-RAM has a larger presence in camcorders and
set-top boxes than in computers, although the DVD-RAM's popularity in these
devices can be explained by the fact that it is very easily written to and
erased, which for example allows extensive in-camera editing.

What can a DVD RAM disk do that can't be done with other less expensive disks?
