	DVD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		DVDs resemble compact discs: their physical dimensions are the same—12cm or the mini 8cm—but they are encoded in a different format and at a much higher density.
		The first DVD players and discs were available in November 1996 in Japan, March 1997 in the United States, 1998 in Europe and in 1999 in Australia.
		DVDs are made from a 0.6 mm thick disc of polycarbonate plastic coated with a much thinner (reflective) aluminium layer.

	Digital Versatile Disc Technology
		DVD (Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc), is a new medium for the distribution of digital data.
		Like a CD, a DVD disc is divided into tracks and data is stored in a spiral trail of tiny pits on a reflective metal surface embedded in plastic that correspond to the zeros and ones of the digital information contained within the tracks.
		DVD achieves this capacity by reducing the track spacing to about half that of a CD, making the pits smaller and the spiral tighter, and by recording the data in as many as four layers, two on each side of the disc.

		In the case of an audio recording, where the data to be stored is in analog rather than digital form, the sound signal is sampled at a rate of 48,000 or 96,000 times a second, then each sample is measured and digitally encoded on the 4 3/4 -in.
		As with other optical disks nothing touches the encoded portion, and the DVD is not worn out by the playing process.
		When DVD was released in 1996 there was no DVD-Audio format, although the audio capabilities of DVD-Video far surpassed those available from a CD; the DVD-Audio format was introduced in 1999.

		DVD is a consumer entertainment format developed through advances in digital data storage, digital video compression, and enhanced laser technology, which is creating a new market for content holders.
		There are three types of DVD discs: DVD-5 holding 4.7 gigabytes of data with content on one side of the disc; DVD-9 holding 8.5 gigabytes of information; DVD-10 storing 9.4 gigabytes with information on both sides of the disc.
		With a disc capable of holding two aspect ratios of a film, pan and scan and letterbox, multiple spoken and subtitled languages, as well as interactive menus with the ability to see a selected scene by branching, it is a colossal advance from VHS video.

	EUROPEAN TELEVISION SERVICE CENTRE:Digital Versatile Disc
		DVD, which stands for Digital Video Disc, Digital Versatile Disc, or nothing, depending on whom you ask, is the next generation of optical disc storage technology.
		DVD has widespread support from all major electronics companies, all major computer hardware companies, and about half of the major movie and music studios, which is unprecedented and says much for its chances of success (or, pessimistically, the likelihood of it being forced down our throats).
		DVD players are required to support all the variations of LPCM, but some of them may subsample 96 kHz down to 48 kHz, and some may not use all 20 or 24 bits.

		DVD, one of the new communication technologies, is a high bandwidth digital storage medium capable of carrying high quality digital video.
		Owing to the data capacity, DVD will be able to provide multiple language and subtitle tracks, which allow users to choose whether to listen to the original movie dialogue, with or without subtitles, or to a dubbed version (Normile 57-58).
		In conclusion, the innovation of DVD is in the early stages and it is still in the process of being developed.

	Digital Versatile Disc Technology - update
		DVD achieves this capacity by reducing the track spacing to about half that of a CD, making the pits smaller and the spiral tighter, and by recording the data in as many as four layers, two on each side of the disc by using a semi-transparent gold layer atop the reflective silver-colored layer.
		Digital recording devices will only be able to receive data which is not marked "copy never," and they must change the CGMS flags to zero copies if the source is marked for one copy.
		DVD copies, on the other hand, are almost perfect, and a copy of the original and a copy of a hundredth-generation copy are almost identical.

	DVD = Digital Versatile Disc - TechIMO Forums
		Digital versatile disc (a meaning later proposed by some of DVD's creators)
		And the official answer is? "Nothing." The original acronym came from "digital video disc." Some members of the DVD Forum (see 6.1) tried to express that DVD goes far beyond video by retrofitting the painfully contorted phrase "digital versatile disc," but this has never been officially accepted by the DVD Forum as a whole.
		The DVD Forum decreed in 1999 that DVD, as an international standard, is simply three letters.
