The Recordable DVD Council (RDVDC) has recently announced a number of measures to further accelerate the expansion of the DVD recording market. Among these moves, the RDVDC has created a new "RAM Compatible" logo to designate products capable of recording and playing back-- or just playing back--video images on DVD-RAM discs in the Video Recording Format. The Video Recording Format was standardized by the DVD Forum in 1999, and is widely used allowing real-time recording, editing and playing back of audio and video data in both computer and consumer AV environment.

It also announced the establishment of the Compatibility Working Group to ensure interoperability of products using RDVDC-supported recordable DVD formats (DVD-RAM, DVD-R and DVD-RW).

With a growing number of companies manufacturing recordable DVD products, the RDVDC established the Compatibility Working Group to support newcomers to this market. The group also looks to encourage the development of new products, further ensuring the compatibility of recordable DVD products.
