5-8	What is DVD+RW VR? DVD+RW VR support provides the user with VHS VCR type capabilities for DVD generation and update on the PC. The whole idea behind DVD+RW VR is that you can create DVDs that can be re-edited "time and time again". Any disc generated by a product (hardware or software) that follows the DVD+RW VR Video Format v. 1.1 support specification is updateable by another product (hardware or software) that follows the +RW VR Video Format v. 1.1 support specification. So for example, if you have a DVD+RW video disc that was created using neoDVD or a 3rd party application, you can load the finished disc into neoDVD, add/delete video clips, rearrange the contents of the disc, and then recreate the DVD. neoDVD allows you to do this by maximizing disc usage through re-write and reuse of disc space.
