	Howstuffworks "How DVDs Work"
		DVD picture quality is better, and many DVDs have Dolby Digital or DTS sound, which is much closer to the sound you experience in a movie theater.
		DVDs are of the same diameter and thickness as CDs, and they are made using some of the same materials and manufacturing methods.
		Inside the DVD player, there is a good bit of computer technology involved in forming the data into understandable data blocks, and sending them either to the DAC, in the case of audio or video data, or directly to another component in digital format, in the case of digital video or data.

	dvd korean information
		DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) is an optical disc storage media format that is used for playback of movies with high video and sound quality and for storing data.
		The first DVD players and discs were available in November of 1996 in Japan and in March of 1997 in the United States.
		DVD movies can contain a region code, denoting which area of the world it is targeted at, which is completely independent of encryption.

	Clones DVD
		A DVD is an optical disc storage media format that is used for playback of movies with high video and sound quality and for storing data.
		"DVD" was originally an acronym for "digital versatile disc"; some members of the DVD Forum believe that it should stand for "digital video disc", due to the fact that most members of the public believe that DVD does stand for that.
		This alone would not prevent the duplication of DVD discs in their entirety without decrypting the data, given suitable equipment, although "consumer-grade" DVD writers deny this ability by refusing to duplicate the tracks on the disc which contain the decryption keys.

	DVD+RW - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The format was developed by a coalition of corporations, known as the DVD+RW Alliance, in late 1997, although the standard was abandoned until 2001, when it was heavily revised and the capacity increased from 2.8 GB to 4.7 GB.
		Although DVD+RW has not been approved by the DVD Forum, which produced a competing standard, the format is too popular for manufacturers to ignore, and as such, DVD+RW discs are playable in three quarters of today's DVD players.
		However, they are not as widely used for home DVD video recorders as DVD-RW, primarily because they were originally designed for storage of data, rather than of video.

	DVD+RW Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Alliance seeks to develop and promote a format of rewritable DVDs that is universally compatible with both DVD drives in personal computers (PCs) and standalone consumer products (i.e., DVD players and DVD recorders) to allow a greater convergence in function between the two.
		Alliance leaders Philips, Sony and Thomson were also founding members of the DVD Forum, established in 1995.
		As of 2004, both plus and dash formats seem equally popular with consumers, and both are compatible with the vast majority of DVD players.

		But as the licensing cost for this technology is very high, another group was founded: the DVD plus RW Alliance who created the DVD+R(W) standard with lower licensing costs.
		All DVD readers are supposed to read both formats (though real-world compatibility lies around 90% for both formats), and most current DVD writers can write both formats.
		The speed of a DVD drive is given in multiples of 1350 kB/s, which means that a drive with speed 16x allows a data transfer rate of 16 x 1350 = 21600 kB/s (21.09 MB/s).

	Burning your First DVD! The technical information
		When a systems menu is accessed, the DVD player remembers exactly where in the video stream it was playing, and can return to that location after the viewer has finished using the menu.
		DVDs are commonly used as a medium for digital representation of movies and other multimedia presentations that combine sound with graphics.The DVD specification supports disks with capacities of from 4.7GB to 17GB and access rates of 600KBps to 1.3 MBps.
		Most DVD players will read a DVD+RW or DVD+R disc without any problems, however a few of them report a disc error when a disc is loaded that is not marked as a "DVD-ROM" disc in the compatibility bits.

	DVD Recorders Review: Compare DVD Recorders - Consumer Search Report
		Not to be confused with DVD burners (which are installed in your computer), DVRs (which record TV shows on a hard drive for temporary viewing) or DVD players (which play pre-recorded discs), DVD recorders are home-theater components that can record TV shows onto DVDs, replicating the functions of your VCR.
		If you are mostly interested in using a DVD recorder as you would a VCR, for recording TV shows for later viewing (called time shifting), you have several choices in a variety of price ranges.
		Reviews say the best DVD recorders have a hard drive, which can record video to its internal memory, From there you can simply watch the show and delete it, or you can edit out the commercials and burn it to a disc for archiving.

	DVD+RW Info
		The high-density successor to the popular CD media family, DVD not only meets foreseeable capacity needs, it is also well-suited to the operating needs of the latest multimedia PCs and CE appliances using digitised audio, graphical and video information.
		Though pre-recorded DVDs (DVD-ROM and DVD-Video discs) have been around for a while, recordable and rewritable DVDs are a more recent but crucial development.
		As consumer and IT applications for DVD continue to converge, DVD+RW provides a disc format suitable for both real-time video recording and random data recording - the best of both worlds - in a system that also offers effective means to prevent unauthorised copying of copyright-protected content.

	VideoHelp.com Forum Archive - DVD+RW alliance releases 2.4x DVD+RW Double Layer specs
		The DVD+RW Alliance, a voluntary association of industry-leading personal computer, optical storage and consumer electronics manufacturers that support the Plus format for DVD recording, has announced the release of version 1.0 specifications for 2.4X rewriting on Double Layer DVD+RW media by HP, Mitsubishi Kagaku Media/Verbatim, Royal Philips Electronics, Ricoh, Sony Corporation, Thomson Inc. and Yamaha.
		With PC Blu-ray and HD DVD writers coming out shortly, it will be interesting to see how this media pricing compares with rewritable Blu-ray and HD DVD media, considering how expensive Double Layer DVD+R media cost when it first hit the market.
		RW formats are a bust for the most part, less reliable that R discs, and only good for a few narrow uses.

	DVD-R: A World of Options
		DVD has three primary uses: in desktop applications as a giant “bit bucket” for data storage; in consumer-player applications using the standard consumer DVD formats; and in hybrid applications that can combine standard DVD features with special functions, such as Web linking, that are available only when the DVD is played on a computer.
		The DVD Forum also recognized that the sector offset scheme employed in CD audio is frequently more suitable for low-cost consumer players because it doesn't take as much memory and processing power to execute.
		DVD technology may seem out of your reach now, but rest assured that it won't be for long.
