well, i read this at dvdrw.com:
DVD Multi: DVD Multi is a logo program that promotes compatibility with DVD-RAM and DVD-RW. It is not a drive, but defines a testing methodology which, when passed, ensures the drive product can in fact read RAM and -RW. It puts the emphasis for compatibility on the reader, not the writer. The read-write specification was introduced in June by the DVD Forum in response to compatibility issues with DVD-RAM. It will be able to read discs written in DVD-ROM, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-RW and DVD-R formats. It will be able to write discs in DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD-R formats. So far, no optical drive manufacturer has announced plans to support the specification.
DVD-RAM:
The current installed base of DVD-ROM drives and DVD-Video players cannot read DVD-RAM media.
