CD/DVD media and related
Below you will find various information regarding CD and DVD media.

Topics include:

 

Definitions and Recommendations for Media Types

CD Media Types
  • CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable)

    • Optical disc to which data or audio may be written once. Data may not be erased and re-recorded. Normally 700 Megabytes in capacity.

  • CD-RW (Compact Disc ReWritable)

    • Optical disc to which data or audio may be written many times. Data may be erased and re-recorded. Normally 700 Megabytes in capacity.

 

DVD Media Types
  • DVD-R (Digital Versatile Disk - Recordable)

    • Optical disc to which data or audio may be written once. Data may not be erased and re-recorded. Normally 4.7 Gigabytes in capacity. DVD-R is one of the most common DVD formats and is accepted by the widest number of DVD players sold today. (DVD-R is properly pronounced as "DVD Are" or "DVD Dash Are", but not "DVD Minus Are").

    • Optical disc to which data or audio may be written once. Data may not be erased and re-recorded. Normally 4.7 Gigabytes in capacity. DVD+R is not as widely accepted as the DVD-R format but most modern DVD players sold today will play both formats.

  • DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disk + ReWritable)

    • Optical disc to which data or audio may be written many times. Data may be erased and re-recorded. Normally 4.7 Gigabytes in capacity. DVD+RW is not as widely accepted as the DVD-RW format but most modern DVD players sold today will play both formats.
