INITIALIZING DVD-RAM DISC OR CARD (FORMAT DISC/FORMAT CARD)

If you want to erase all data on a recorded disc or card, you can initialize it rather than delete the data: Initialization is useful in this case, since it takes less time than deleting all data. The initialized disc or card can be used again.
