New DVD-RAM discs are usually pre-formatted by the manufacturer. In case they have not been formatted, they need formatting in order to be burned. Once a DVD-RAM has been formatted, there is no need to format it again for new data to be recorded. 

Before initiating formatting of the disc, please insert a DVD-RAM disc into the drive to be formatted. 

Steps to format a DVD-RAM: 

1. Start up SwiftDisc Burning Wizard. 

2. Choose section: Toolbox => option: Format DVD-RAM. 

3. Select the drive where you inserted the DVD-RAM to be formatted. You can verify the information about the selected device and disc space availability. Press the “Next” button. 

4. Only the “Full Format” function is available for DVD-RAM media. 

Note: The “Full Format” function could take up to 90 minutes, depending on the burner and the media speed. 

=> Press the “Finish” button. This will initiate the disc formatting process. 

5. After the actual formatting process has been initiated, you will be directed to the "Progress screen". Please wait until the formatting process is finished. Select a device to review the progress of formatting a particular disc: elapsed time and estimated time to complete the formatting. 

When the formatting procedure is over, press the "Continue" button to start another project, or press the "Exit" button to leave SwiftDisc Burning Wizard.
