DVD-RAM material?

**The_Other_One** · 04-12-2006, 11:11 PM

I'm just wondering, does anyone know exactly how DVD-RAM's work? I mean I know what they can do, my DVD-Recorder sports DVD-RAM capabilities and it's AWSOME! But, how do they work?

Mostly, I'm wondering if they are magnetic like a harddrive or something similar, or still somehow work as other CD/DVDs

I'm sure it works optically like all other cd/dvd media, but beyond that I'm not so sure

I really should get a compatable drive for my computer...
