DVD stands for Digital Video Disc.
There are different types of DVD's, some are: 1) DVD-R (most common and widely accepted) 2) DVD+R (similar to -R but less accepted) 3) DVD-RW (DVD-ReWritable) 4) DVD+RW (DVD+ReWritable) According to the Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA), "manufacturers claim life spans range from 30-100 years for DVD, DVD-R, & DVD+R". *I use mostly DVD-R in burning DVD's, but DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW are available upon request. **Each DVD can hold up to 4.7GB or 2 Hours of video.
