A DVD-RAM is a competing DVD Re-Writable format with many advantages over its rivals. DVD-RAM stands for **DVD-Random Access Memory**. The DVD-RAM is much better than other recordable DVD media in many ways whether it’s a question of reliability, quality, speed or ease of use. DVD-RAM has always been the leading rewriteable format in consumer set-top box recorders and is growing rapidly in the PC space, especially laptop computers and now desktop PCs due to companies like HP. However the DISADVANTAGE is that it is less compatible than other storage devices and needed a different disk drive to read and write them.

 * DVD-RAM** is a disc specification presented in 1996 by the D VD forum, which specifies rewritable DVD-RAM media and the appropriate DVD writers. DVD-RAM means DVD random access memory. There are three competing technologies for rewritable DVDs: DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and DVD-RW. DVD-RAM is a highly reliable format, as the discs have built-in error control and a defect management system. Therefore, DVD-RAM is thought to be better DVD technology for traditional computer usage tasks such as general data storage, backup and archival. DVD-RAM has a larger presence in camcorders and set-top boxes than in computers, although the popularity of DVD-RAM in these devices can be explained by its being very easily written to and erased, which for example allows extensive in-camera editing and many more.======
