Basics DVD-ROM Drive Technology - 25
DVD-ROM Drive Technology
DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc, an audio/video/data
standard based on high-density next-generation optical
discs. Apple Computer offers a DVD-ROM drive through the
build-to-order (BTO) program which is capable of playing
DVD-ROM disks.
Warning:
DVD disks are much more prone to damage than
CD-ROM disks. Any type of scratch or other abuse may
result in a disk that is unreadable.
DVD Discs
The DVD Forum designed several standards for disk
manufacture ranging from a single-sided, single-layer disk
with 4.7 Gigabytes of data to a double-sided, double-layer
disk with 17 Gigabytes of data stored on the disk.
