		After a lifespan of ten years, during which time the capacity of hard disks increased a hundred-fold, the CD-ROM finally got the facelift it required to take it into the next century when a standard for DVD, initially called digital video disc but eventually known as digital versatile disc, was finally agreed during 1996.
		For computer users, however, DVD means more than just movies, and whilst DVD-Video grabbed most of the early headlines, it was through the sale of DVD-ROM drives that the format made a bigger immediate impact in the marketplace.
		In the late-1990s computer-based DVD drives outsold home DVD-Video machines by a ratio of at least 5:1 and, thanks to the enthusiastic backing of the computer industry in general and the CD-ROM drive manufacturers in particular, by early in the new millennium there were more DVD-ROM drives in use than CD-ROM drives.
