Hello David, DVD-RAM is not permanent! You can write it over and over again. But you have to write the entire disk over again. That can be a drawback.
DVD-ROM is read only. DVD-R is like a CD-R but as of yet there are many formats. Some can NOT be used in your DVD player and some can. I believe Panasonic has one that records for a DVD player [television], DVD-RAM [Type 2 Disks for computers] and DVD-ROM players [computer], sells for $999 at last look.
