'''DVD-R''' is a recordable [[DVD]] format. It uses a thin organic [[dye]] layer which is recorded by a high-power [[laser]]. The laser bleaches the recorded areas, creating [[reflection|reflective]] areas that can then be played back with a low-power laser. A DVD-R can be recorded with [[DVD-Video]], [[DVD-Audio]], or [[DVD-ROM]] content.
