Right Well Here Goes....

A CD-Rom is the general term for CDs

A CD-RW means Rewritable so you can go over burnt data multiple times

A CD -R means Writable so it can only be burned once

A DVD is a generalized terms for DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, but generally most dvds are RW

And a CD-worm is Write Once Read Many which is Cd data that can never be erased once burnt so it doesn't get accidentally lost. People such as Governments agencies or large enterprises tend to use these.

Hope this helped.
