DVD

An abbreviation that stands for Digital Versatile Disc, which is an optical-disc technology that was developed through the DVD Consortium, a collection of 10 firms who have contributed to the development of the specification and standard for DVD.

There are five specific kinds of DVD discs DVD-ROM, DVD-Video DVD-audio, DVD+-R (recordable/write at once) DVD+ RAM (re-writable).

DVD-ROM Features

DVD discs are also playable on personal computers with DVD-Video capabilities.

DVD-ROM are features specifically designed for computers that are included in DVD-Video discs which are only playable with DVD-ROM drives.

These can be screenplays, hyperlinks to web websites (often known as “web hyperlinks”) and advanced interactive games, and text-based information.

These aren’t available through DVD-Video players. One must possess either a DVD-ROM drive or a DVD device that can play DVD-ROM.

DVD Rot

Certain editions of DVDs with dual layers cause defects in the manufacturing process, in which the adhesive used to join two layers is inadequate or not properly applied.

If the disc is brand fresh it is not affected by the “DVD Rot isn’t visible and the errors correction capabilities of DVD players can correct the issue.

As time passes the layers become separated and the “DVD Rot becomes more severe until the disc is no longer playable.

It can also be seen in specific lighting conditions. Even if the damaged disc was kept in the best conditions and not touched, it will be unplayable after a certain period of time.

Dual Layer/RSDL

Reverse Spiral Dual Layer (RSDL) allows longer films to fit on just the DVD’s one side which allows continuous playback for longer films and not having for a “disc turn”.

There’s usually a noticeable interruption during the layer change when the laser of the player adjusts for the reading of the other layer.

The duration of the pause is different from disc to disc, and the player. Dual-layer discs are easy to recognize because they are gold-colored, as opposed to the silver sparkle of a single-layered disc.

Easter Eggs

There are hidden features on DVDs that can be found and accessible by using the menu system on the disc.

Flipper Disc

Before the invention of Dual Layer discs, movies that couldn’t be viewed on one layer were typically split between the two edges of the disc.

This was a less popular method of authoring DVDs since the viewer was obliged to flip the disc while enjoying the video, hence the word “flipper”.

This method of creating DVDs has been mostly eliminated.

HD DVD

HD DVD, also known as High-Definition Digital Versatile Disc is an optical disc with a high-density format that is designed to store large amounts of high-definition video and data.

1 HD DVD was developed mostly by Toshiba and was envisioned to be the replacement for the DVD standard format.

HD DVD is able to support 720p, 1080i, and 1080p HD video. It also introduces 7.1 audio masterings. It also supports the lossless DTS HD and Dolby TrueHD audio formats.

It could store data up to 30GB and was backward-compatible with DVD. It required an HD DVD player is needed to play discs using this type.

HD DVD was a format that HD DVD format was competing with Blu-ray’s Blu-ray counterpart to become the most popular format for high-definition media.

In February 2008, however, Toshiba abandoned the format and announced that it would not develop or produce HD DVD players.
