DVD Specifications Summary
Overview DVD (commonly Digital Video Disc) (A DVD is the same physical size as a CD.) DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc, by vote of the committee that controls the trademark DVD, the DVD Forum. All capacities are given in commercial units (marketing MegaBytes): (e.g.: 1 GigaByte = 1 Billion Bytes; 1 MegaByte = 1 Million Bytes) rather than the older, larger computer based binary MegaBytes (1 MegaByte = 1,048,576 Bytes) Marketing Megabytes were invented because there are more marketing MegaBytes on a given disk (or disc) than there are binary MegaBytes on the same disk (or disc). This allows the advertised capacity to be given as a larger number.
