    All a bit complicated...as I understand it DVD.RW means DVD - RW-re-write - means you can write over info stored on the DVD.

The lazer scans from the middle of the disc to the rim for one format & the rim to the middle for the other format. do not know which one is which. They are both re-writable. Old dvd players could only play one or the other format as some were set up to record from the middle & some were set up to record from the outside. But most new players will play both formats although some will record in one format or the other.
