DVD
The DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) was introduced in 1995 and is a storage media with a large
capacity.
While a standard CD can store 650 MB of data, the DVD can store up to 9 GB. Especially
when it comes to video playback, a large storage capacity is important. Beyond its high
capacity, the consumer enjoys high quality video and audio. A DVD can store up to 8 differ-
ent audio streams, so in best case, the movie can be watched in 8 different languages.
Photo-CD (JPEG CD)
A Photo-CD is a storage system for image storage on a CD-ROM in a platform independent
multi resolution structure (support of different resolutions and file formats, e.g. JPEG, BMP,
etc). As a single camera film dies not fill a complete CD, more films can be added to the CD
at a later time. A CD-ROM drive must be multisession enabled to load images from a Photo-
CD.
