DVD Formats Explained
When DVD
technology first appeared in households, users were simply popping DVD discs into their
DVD players to watch movies - an option to the then-conventional VCR. But just as compact
disc technology evolved so that users could record and erase and re-record data onto
compact discs, the same is now true of DVDs. But with so many different formats -- DVD+R,
DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-ROM -- how do users know which DVD format is
compatible with their existing systems, and why are there so many different formats for
DVDs? The following information sheds some light on DVD's different flavors, the
