Mac OS 9: How to initialize or format a disk

Initializing a DVD-RAM disc
To initialize a DVD-RAM disc, follow these steps:

1. Insert the disc into the DVD-RAM drive.

2. Open the Special menu and choose Erase Disk.

3. Select a format for the disc in the Format pop-up menu.

However:

Apple's DVD driver / works only with an internal IDE DVD drive / Software Architects' / DVD-RAM TuneUp software. In addition to providing the necessary drivers, this software lets you format DVD-RAM media in both HFS / and HFS+ / as well as in UDF.
