DVD-R is a "write-once" recording format that allows you to burn your own DVD video discs, using a compatible DVD recorder or computer DVD-writing drive. Once finalized, DVD-R discs can be played back in many newer DVD players and computer DVD-ROM drives. DVD-R discs cannot be re-recorded. A single-sided DVD-R disc offers 4.7 GB of storage, allowing you to record up to 120 minutes of studio-quality MPEG2 video. Double-sided DVD-Rs, which can hold a whopping 9.4 GB per disc, are also available. When shopping for DVD-R media, keep in mind that there are two different versions of the DVD-R format: a "general" version, sometimes referred to as "DVD-R(G)"; and an "authoring" version, sometimes called "DVD-R(A)." The general version is used in all DVD home recording decks and computer DVD-RW drives, while the authoring version is intended for professional applications. DVD-R(A) discs are not compatible with DVD-R(G) recorders, and vice versa.
