 Well not really. You don't rewind a dvd disc.
 
 RW and Ram discs are discs which can be written to more than once but
 as you're writing digital information to them then to record on them
 again you will have to erase what is there already to record over that
 space. You can record more than one program on a disc on different
 days etc but you would still have to remove programs from the disc to
 make new space. Each machine has advantages and disadvantages and the
 way they handle the different RW formats may be quite big too. For
 rewritables though the RAM disc is probably the sturdiest and most
 versatile, but not all players will allow you to play them.
 
 The recording facilities all depend on which machine you purchase and
 at first you may find it a bit fiddly, but you'll soon get used to it.
