any extension can be used because the DVD disk is not the file. there are likely going to be hundreds if not thousands of files on a DVD. Some could be video files, (.mov, .wmv, .mpg, or others) some could be picture files (.bmp, .jpg, .gif, and many others) some could be executable files .exe, or zip files .zip
If the DVD-RW has not been formatted, then it has no "free space" for files. With no space free, it is effectively "full."
Yes, you can. Just check that dvd-rw has the same interface.
A CD-R or CD-RW or DVD-R or DVD-RW will do.
Yes, as long as the setup file is intelligent enough to ask where to install or extract the files. It will fail if it tries to write to the DVD even though it is RW
I don't think so. A DVD burner is necessary to burn a DVD. DVD or CD-rw drive could not burn DVD. And if you use a CD burner to burn DVD, when you play it, you will discover that only the audio is available, you can't get the picture. More details in the link.
DVD plus RW has been developed by Sony, Dell, HP, Philips, and Mcft. The DVD minus RW standard was developed by Pioneer and is used by Apple as well. DVD minus RW can have one layer of data written to them, while DVD plus RW can have multiple layers of data written to them.
There is no limit to how many times a DVD-RW can be used,but quality may diminish with multiple uses.
No, you can only read files off. Get a RW to change files. You need to delete the files off the disc to make a new version avalible
Anything you want. It's similar to a CD-RW. You can fill it with files, modify the files, delete the files, put in more files, or erase the whole thing.
CD-R means you can only write/record files to a CD/DVD one time. CD-RW means you can write/record files to a CD/DVD and then re-write new files or delete old files from the said CD-RW. CD-RW hold less than CD-R's and they tend to get buggy the more times you add/edit/delete/re-write over them. Also if you are lets say burning music to a CD to play in your car or something some CD-RW's are not really compatible with standard car stereos.
It has to be a DVD-RW or DVD+RW. R means Writable, RW means Re-Writable.
