Physics

Digital versatile disk: a disk format similar to a compact disk (see CD-ROM) but containing much more data. It was introduced in 1996. DVD disks are the same 120 mm diameter as CDs with potential capacities of up to 4.7 gigabytes for a single-sided single-layer disk. The technology involved in DVD storage is similar to that in compact disks, but more precise. The extra capacity is achieved in a number of ways. The tracks on a DVD are closer together and the pits are smaller, allowing more pits per unit area. The key to this is the use of a shorter-wavelength laser (typically 635 or 650 nm in the red region for DVDs as opposed to 780 nm in the infrared for CDs). Moreover, a DVD can have two layers on the same side of the disk. The top layer is translucent and the bottom layer opaque. Data can be read from either layer by refocusing the laser. In addition DVDs may be double-sided. DVD formats also have a more efficient error-correction system. The potential capacity of a double-sided double-layer DVD is up to 17 gigabytes. DVDs have been increasingly used in computing as a higher-capacity version of compact disks. As with compact disks, there are various types. DVD-ROM (DVD read-only memory) is similar to CD-ROM. DVD-R (DVD-recordable) is similar to CD-R. There are also different rewritable formats: DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, and DVD-RW.

‘DVD’ was originally used as an abbreviation for digital video disk and subsequently for digital versatile disk. However, the DVD specification does not state that ‘DVD’ is an abbreviation and treats it as the full name of the format.

Electronics and Electrical Engineering

An information storage medium suitable for music, video, or computer data. Like the CD-ROM (from which it evolved), the DVD is a plastic disc, 12 cm in diameter, with a 1.5-cm hole in the centre. Information is stored in a single track, starting at the centre, which contains a minimum of 4.7 Gbytes of data. More recent developments have seen dual-layer disks in which multiple layers are used to increase the amount of data storage; the maximum amount of storage is currently around 17 Gbytes. DVDs come in read-only form (DVD-ROM) and in recordable (DVD±R) and rewritable (DVD±RW and DVD-RAM) forms. The latter can be used in computers and domestic DVD recorders to record television programmes or images recorded on domestic video cameras.
