I suspect that you will have to format the disc when it is full and you want
to reuse it. I have a Panasonic (although a different model) and the manual
says:

Available recording space on DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) increases only when
the last recorded title is erased. It does not increase if other titles are
erased.

So if you do delete a title, the space won't become available for you to
record something.

Suggest that you check your manual, or try it. If you delete a title, does
the remaining time displayed increase?
