What is the difference between formatting a DVD in vr mode and video mode?

Formatting a DVD in VR (Video Recording) mode allows for more flexible editing and re-recording of video content, making it suitable for home recording and allowing features like pause and resume. In contrast, Video mode is more standardized for playback on various devices and typically does not support editing after recording, resulting in a finalized disc. VR mode is often used with DVD-RW discs, while Video mode is common for DVD-R and DVD+R formats.
