Using a DVD-RAM Disc
A DVD-RAM disc must be logically formatted prior to use, just as you would similarly format a floppy prior to
use.
However,
a DVD-RAM disc is formatted with the UDF file system which is optimized for large capacity, high
performance removable media. Windows 95 native formatting utilities do not support UDF, therefore the Format
UDF! software, supplied with the DVD-RAM drive, needs to be installed in order to take advantage of the UDF
file system and optimize your DVD-RAM drive's performance.
Installing Format UDF!
1
Insert the floppy disk labeled Format UDF! into the floppy disk drive,
then from the Start menu select [Run].

Logical formatting
A DVD-RAM disc can be formatted using either UDF (Universal Disk Format) or FAT16 format.
m UDF Format
The UDF format is newly specified for the DVD family of products to enable a high level of data compatibility
between DVD-ROM, DVD-R and DVD-RAM. This new format is optimized for big capacity files, such as Video
and Audio capture and playback, to keep constant, high transfer rates.
@Since the file control structure is relatively complicated compared with FAT16, it is not as good when handling
a large number of small files.
When the UDF format is used for formatting, files will be displayed more slowly in Explorer.
