DVD Media Type Mysteries

Similar to the old video tape VHS vs. Beta tape wars when VCRs first hit the markets, different manufacturers support different computer DVD recordable standards.

Before mere mortals could burn their own DVDs, the DVD-ROM was the first DVD standard. It is a read-only format, where the video or data content is burned onto the DVD once using precision optical machinery at a commercial facility. This DVD type will run on any DVD-ROM-equipped device.
