    Waaaait. You ask me to pretend it&apos;s 2005 and yet show Windows 10 when formatting your DVD-RW? I&apos;m floored by your lack of attention to detail. FLOORED, I tell you!

    4.7GB of storage in 1998 was more than double my total HD capacity at the time.

    DVD-RAM could&apos;ve been the standard in video game consoles. Instead of saving into a separate memory card, you could just save to the disc instead.

    The confusion portion can’t be overstated.<br><br>All of those incompatible DVD formats were the very reason I never bothered to invest in a re-writable DVD drive for my PC in the early 2000s. I just stayed with my rewritable CDs for the most part and jumped to USB sticks as they became more viable as the floppy replacement.

    i remember my mom getting a dvd-ram recorder really late. like past 2010 because she could record weeks worth of her daily TV shows in decent quality on olny 1-2 discs and re-use them as much as she wanted. That&apos;s when i learned about the technology since it was waaaaay better than any other options for this specific task.
