1.3 About DVD technology
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc, Digital Video Disc) is an optical storage technology that is expected to replace the CD
over the next few years.
Today, DVDs are most widely used as a digital video storage medium. One DVD (single-sided, single-layered) can
hold over 2 hours of high-quality digital video, 8 digital audio tracks (e.g. for multiple languages) and up to 32
subtitle tracks.
When it comes to storing computer data, up to 15.9 GB can be stored on a single DVD (dual-sided, dual-layered).
The most common DVD format (single-sided, single-layered) holds about 4.37 GB.
