Blank Media & CD / DVD Recording - GLOSSARY: |
| CD-RW |
| CD-ReWritable. CD recordable media which can be erased and re-recorded. CD-RW media can only be written in a CD-RW recorder, not in a normal CD recorder, though a CD-RW recorder can also record standard CD-R discs. More information on the read-back compatibility of CD-RW discs. |
| CD-R |
| Compact disc-recordable. When referring to recordable discs (media), "CD-R" is often used to refer to write-once discs, in contrast to CD-RW. See also Recordable Disc. |
| CD-ROM Drive |
| A peripheral device attached to a computer which allows it to read/play a CD-ROM disc. All CD-ROM players can also play back audio CDs, but you need external headphones or speakers to hear them. |
| DVD |
| DVD once stood for digital video disc or digital versatile disc, but now it just stands for DVD -- the next generation of optical disc storage technology. DVD is essentially a bigger, faster CD that can hold cinema-like video, better-than-CD audio, and computer data. |
| DVD Changer |
| A DVD Player that can store 2 or more DVDs (DVD-Video, DVD-Audio) or CDs (CD Audio, VCD, SVCD...) and play them after each other. |
| DVD Studio Pro |
| DVD Studio Pro is a software application from Apple that makes it affordable and simple for non-specialists to encode, author, and write professional-quality DVD-Video discs on their Power Mac G4 desktops. If you're shooting and editing using digital video, you can now retain digital quality and precision all the way to the final product. DVD Studio Pro is in a class by itself because it is the only full-featured DVD authoring tool that is both affordable and easy to use. |
| DVD+R |
| DVD+Recordable defines a standard for recordable DVD drives and media defined by the DVDRW Alliance. Often called "plus R", the format is write once (compared to DVD+RW wich can be erased and rewritten). The single sided discs can hold 4,700,000,000 bytes (4.38 Gigabytes at 1024 bytes to the kilobyte) with double sided discs holding twice as much. There are no dual layer single sided recordable discs. This format competes with the DVD Forum DVD-R specification. |
| DVD+RW |

| DVD-R |
| DVD-Recordable defines a standard for recordable DVD drives and media defined by the DVD Forum.
