THE DVD

The DVD is also known as Digital Video Disc and Digital Versatile Disc. This is news to me! DVD's were invented and developed by Philips, Sony, Toshiba, and Time Warner in 1995. They're the same dimensions as compact discs, but capable of holding just under 7 times as much space! That's a lot more space for the same size disc! Variations of the term DVD are based on the way data is recorded on the disc. DVD-ROM can only be read and not written. DVD-R and DVD+R can only read and only written on once. DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM can all be written on, erased and read as a DVD-ROM. Pretty good stuff right??
