Blank DVD+/-Rs can be used to permanently store large amounts of data. After you create a DVD+/-R
disc, you may not be able to write to that disc again if the disc is

finalized or closed during the final stage

of the disc creation process. Use blank DVD+/-RWs if you plan to erase, rewrite, or update information
on the disc later.
