Figure 10-55 Typical DVD-videoThe single best word to describe DVD is capacity. The lowest capacityDVD holds 4.37 GB of data, or two hours of standard-definition video. Thehighest capacity DVD versions store roughly 16 GB of data, or more thaneight hours of video. DVD uses a number of technologies, but three are mostimportant. First, DVD uses smaller pits than CD-media, and packs themmuch more densely. Second, DVD comes in both single-sided (SS) anddouble-sided (DS) formats. As the name implies, a DS disc holds twice thedata of an SS disc, but it also requires you to flip the disc to read the otherside. Third, DVDs come in single-layer (SL) and dual-layer (DL) formats.DL formats use two pitted layers on each side, each with a slightly differentreflectivity index. Table 10-3 shows the common DVD capacities.
Table 10-3 DVD Versions/CapacitiesDVD-ROM DVD-ROM is the DVD equivalent of the standard CD-ROMdata format except that it’s capable of storing up to almost 16 GB of data.Almost all DVD-ROM drives also fully support DVD-video, as well as mostCD-ROM formats. Most DVD drives sold with PCs are DVD-ROM drives.Recordable DVD The IT industry has no fewer than three distinct standardsof recordable DVD-media: DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD-RW DL. DVD-Rdiscs work like CD-Rs. You can write to them but not erase or alter what’swritten. DVD-RW discs can be written and rewritten, just like CD-RW discs.DVD-RW DL can be written to on two layers, doubling the capacity. MostDVD drives can read all formats.EXAM TIP The CompTIA A+ 1001 objectives mention DVD-RW DL as acommon recordable disc type. The specification has been out for severalyears, but the media is not around. Rewritable Blu-ray Discs have eclipsedDVD discs.EXAM TIP Apple stopped including optical drives on both desktop andportable systems a long time ago. Because optical media enjoys somepopularity, Apple gave macOS machines Remote Disc, the capability to readoptical media from an optical drive in another system.Blu-ray Disc MediaBlu-ray Disc is the last generation in optical disc formatting and storagetechnology (see Figure 10-56). Because of its near-perfect audio and videoquality; mass acceptance by industry-leading computer, electronics, game,music, retail, and motion picture companies; and huge storage capacities of
