is a CD-RW disk for audio or for film?as in videos and movies?
CD-RW is a rewritable disc for music. If you want it for movies, get a DVD-RW.
It can be used for both and for data as well. If you want to record full-length movies you will need a minumum of a dvd-rw, preferably a dual-layer one. A regular dvd-rw can only write a little over 4 gigabytes, while a dual layer can hole almost 9 gigabytes (i.e., a full length movie without compression or loss).
A CD-RW is a CD where you put music, videos etc. then if you want you can erase them from the CD and put something alse or the same thing.
You can copy any kind of file (data, music,video etc) to a cd-rw or dvd-rw. The differences lie in the capacity and the options for playing/reading the disk. Genearlly, a CD-RW will have a capacity of about 700 mb, a DVD-RW, about 4700mb (4.7gb). Typically, a mp3 music track will take up about 4 to 5 mb so you get about 140-150 tracks on a cd-rw and a movie between 4 and 4.5 gb.Most hi-fi cd players will NOT play a CD-RW. Similarly, most DVD players will NOT play a DVD-RW. So you need to be sure that the device in which you want to use the new disk will actually play it!
it stands for compact disk rewritable.It can only be used for music but some types of games can be copied onto them.A DVD-RW is what you need for video and movies.
It's to record music on to. When I tape onto a CD-RW I find it doesn't play on all CD players so I use CD-R. DVD -R/-RW +R/+RW are for taping films on to. But you can also use these to back up stuff on your computer. I use these to back up i-tunes. They have more room on them. Hope this helps.
you can use this disk for both audio and movies
It stands for Compact Digital Read Write disc...And you can burn either media,music or movies depends on your burning software.
