Enumerator
CDMinusRWQuick	CD-RW Mount-Rainier format. When specified and the device has Mount-Rainier capabilities the CD media will be formatted using the mount-rainier format.
DVDMinusRWQuick	DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite format - quick. If the device is not capable of quick DVD format a full format is performed instead. After the formatting the DVD, the only write method that could be used to write on the DVD is the WriteMethod::DVDIncremental method. See Device::startDVDSession for more information on how to burn DVDs.
DVDMinusRWFull	DVD-RW Restricted overwrite format - full.
DVDMinusRWQuickGrowLastSession	DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite format - quick grow last session. The last session will be extended with the number of blocks (sectors) specified in the Device::format method. If the last session is closed and the disc is not closed it will be reopened and extended.
DVDMinusRWQuickAddSession	DVD-RW Restricted overwrite format - quick add new session. This method adds new session to a DVD-RW.
DVDPlusRWFull	DVD+RW full format. Use this format type to format a DVD+RW media. Nothing is done if background formatting is running. When performing DVD+RW format, depending on the other parameters the Device::format method will perform a small part of the format called foreground format and leave the drive to format the rest of the disc in background.
DVDPlusRWRestart	DVD+RW restart format. If the formatting was started but interrupted and is not currently running the formatting will be restarted from the address at which it was interrupted. Nothing is done if a background format is running.
DVDPlusRWStop	DVD+RW - stop background format. If a background format is running it will be stopped immediately. The formatting can be restarted later by calling the Device::format method with format type equal to FormatType::DVDPlusRWRestart.
DVDRamFull	DVD-RAM full format. Perform media initialization and certification. The certification marks all bad blocks as defective.
DVDRamQuick	DVD-RAM quick format. Perform media initialization only without certification and reuse the certification data from the previous format. This format is possible only when the media has been formatted at least once.
