DVD-Media

For years, the video industry tried to create an optical-media replacement for

videotape. The DVD was developed by a large consortium of electronics and

entertainment firms during the early 1990s and released as digital video discs

in 1995. The transformation of DVD to a data storage medium required a

name change to digital versatile discs. You’ll still hear both terms used. The

industry also uses the term DVD-video to distinguish the movie format from

the data formats. With the exception of the DVD logo stamped on all

commercial DVDs (see Figure 10-55), DVDs look exactly like CD-media

discs, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end.
