Video is the technology of electronically capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing a sequence of stilled images representing scenes of motion. The term data means groups of information that represent the qualitative or quantitative attributes of a variable or set of variables. DVDs are of the same dimensions as compact discs (CDs), but storage is more than six times as much concerned with data. DVD-ROM (read only memory) contains data that can only be read and not written. DVD-R and DVD+R (recordable) have the capacity to record data only once, and then can it function as a DVD-ROM. DVD-RW (re-writable). DVD-R is a DVD which is in recordable format, and it has a typical storage capacity of 4.71 GB or 4.38 GiB. Data on a DVD-R cannot be changed.
