Digital Versatile Disc
(DVD, formerly "Digital Video Disc") An optical storage medium with improved capacity and bandwidth compared with the ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Compact Disc">Compact Disc. DVD, like CD, was initally marketed for entertainment and later for computer users. [When was it first available?] A DVD can hold a full-length film with up to 133 minutes of high quality video, in ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=MPEG-2">MPEG-2 format, and audio. The first DVD drives for computers were read-only drives ("DVD-ROM"). These provide over seven times the storage capacity of CD-ROM (4.7 GBytes). DVD-ROM drives read existing ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=CD-ROM">CD-ROMs and music CDs and are compatible with installed sound and video boards. Additionally, the DVD-ROM drive can read DVD films using an advanced (MPEG-2) video board, required to decode the high resolution video format. The first drives, using a single-layer disc of 4.7GB, were expected to be available during the second half of 1996 from ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Toshiba">Toshiba, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Philips">Philips, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Sony">Sony, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Hitachi">Hitachi and others. In 1997, dual-layer discs were expected to increase the disc capacity to 8.5 GB. Double-sided, dual-layer discs will eventually increase the capacity to 17 GB. Write-once DVD-R ("recordable") drives record a 3.9GB DVD-R disc that can be read on a DVD-ROM drive. The first DVD-R drive was expected by mid 1997. By the end of 1997, the rewritable DVD-RAM (by false analogy with ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=random access memory">random access memory) drive was expected to become available. DVD-RAM drives read and write to a 2.6 GB DVD-RAM disc, read and write-once to a 3.9GB DVD-R disc, and read a 4.7 GB or 8.5 GB DVD-ROM. Also, it was expected that a DVD-RAM disc would be readable on both the DVD-R and DVD-ROM drives. ref="http://www.tacmar.com/dvd_background.htm">Background . {RCA home (http://www.imagematrix.com/DVD/home.html)}. ref="http://www.zdnet.com/products/special/current/dvd.html">. ref="http://www.zdnet.com/products/special/current/dvdsum.html">.
