Common misconception. DVD-RAM isn't the typical DVD type to which most people refer. Think of a DVD-RAM disk as a huge floppy disk. It mounts much like a floppy; you can transfer files back and forth *in the finder* like a floppy (i.e. no special software required; no "burning" involved); it's just about as slow as a floppy :-(
"Burning" requires DVD-R/RW media and the appropriate burner. Then there's also DVD+R and +RW. Arghh. "Standards" (sic). This site might be a good place to start your education ;-) http://www.macintouch.com/dvdstandards.html "Enjoy" Frank - a fellow DVD-RAM owner.
