The type of recording tape or disc that a camcorder uses. Key differences among the formats include picture quality, size of camcorder, and compatibility with a DVD player.

    MiniDV. Uses a MiniDV tape (a little larger than a matchbox) to record images digitally.
    DVD-RAM. Records onto a little over 3-inch disc in digital MPEG-2 format, the same one used for commercial DVD. Discs are rewritable. Discs cannot be played on most DVD players. Has the widest range of editing features comapred to the other DVD types.
    DVD-R. Like DVD-RAM but not interchangeable with it. Discs are not rewritable. Discs can be played on most DVD players.
    DVD-R DL. Like DVD-R but has two layers that roughly doubles the capacity.
    DVD-RW. Like DVD-RAM but not interchangeable with it.
    DVD+R. Like DVD-R but not interchangeable with it.
    DVD+R DL. Like DVD+R but double the capacity.
    DVD+RW. Like DVD-RW but not interchangeable with it.
    Hard Disk. Records onto a built-in non-removable hard-drive. You either play the recordings from the camcorder, or download them to a computer or video recorder.
    Memory. Records onto solid-state memory cards similar to the ones used by digital still cameras. Memory may be built-in or an add-on card or both.
