DVD-RAM Physical Format

Physical formatting is a simple execution for a disc which
cannot be used or read (or which is becoming hard to
read). It may refresh such a disc for recording and
playback. (There is no guarantee that all such discs will
be recovered.)
"DVD-RAM logical format" process only rewrites certain
data on file system and management information,
however, "DVD-RAM physical format" rewrites all data on
a disc, therefore it takes a much longer time to complete.
For a 4.7GB single sided DVD-RAM, about 70 minutes
will be necessary. While processing, all recorder
operations and functions including program recording will
not work until the process is finished. Also this process
erases all data stored on the DVD-RAM disc.
