DVD-RAM to be unified into "universal media." It looks like some of the manufacturers are trying to avoid format wars for DVD recordable.

<<April 28, 1998 (TOKYO) -- The DVD Forum, which regulates digital video disk
standards, is unifying DVD-RAM as universal media that can record personal
computer data and audio-visual data.
Pioneer Electronic Corp. and Victor Co. of Japan Ltd. were considering selling
DVD-ReWritable (DVD-RW) as a medium capable of recording AV data, but
agreed not to so as to avoid confusion in the DVD market with too many
standards.

Those manufacturers tentatively agreed to position DVD-RW as authoring media
only. DVD-RW will be standardized as the sixth format of DVD as early as
October. >>
