WHY DVD-RAM?
DV40 uses DVD-RAM as its recording media for four very good reasons.
1. Excellent media durability assuring approximately 100,000 rewrites
2. Superb editing characteristics
3. Being a cartridge-held disc it offers for better protection against unexpected
external damage
4. DVD-RAM has quickly become the media of choice in the film industry
