movie DVD and data DVD
There are many DVD formats which usually make us confused. Then what are they and what are their differences?
There are usually DVDr, DVDrw, movie DVD, data DVD, DVD-10 and DVD-18. Here we mainly talk about movie DVD and data DVD. Movie DVD is a single-side, single-layer DVD that store about 4.7GB, which is 4.38 computer Gigabytes where 1 kilobyte equals 1024 bytes. Video DVD, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW support this format. Movie DVD is also called "single side, single layer". While data DVD is a single-side, dual-layer DVD which can store about 8.5GB, which is 7.95 computer Gigabytes. Video DVD supports this format, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW not included. A data DVD is basically two compressed plastic movie DVDs which are not burned. Usually DVD can be copied from movie DVD to movie DVD, from data DVD to data DVD, and from movie DVD to data DVD. And with some featured software, you can compress and copy a dual layer (data DVD) movie into one movie DVD disc and split one data DVD movie to two movie DVDs, such as the upcoming DVD-Cloner for Mac 2. By the way, here we give a brief introduction to the two related DVD formats—DVD-10 and DVD-18. DVD-10 is a double-side, single-layer DVD which can fit up to 9.4GB or 8.7 computer GB. Video DVD, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW all support this format. DVD-18 is a double-side, double-layer DVD which can store 17GB or 15.9 computer GB. Similar to data DVD, it is supported by Video DVD, but not by DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW.
