    Please clarify your question. DVD comes in various flavours:

    DVD-ROM is the read only disc
    DVR+R and DVD-R are two different writable formats.
    DVD-RW is a rewritable format where you can overwrite whatever is on the disc and use it again.

    There is also a DL (dual layer) option, but not in RW.
