DVD FAQS

 

DVD-R uses organic dye technology, like CD-R, and is compatible with most DVD drives and players. First-generation capacity was 3.95 billion bytes, later extended to 4.7 billion bytes. Matching the 4.7G capacity of DVD-ROM was crucial for desktop DVD production. In early 2000 the format was split into an "authoring" version and a "general" version.

 

The general version uses a 650-nm laser (instead of 635-nm) so that DVD-RAM drives can use the same laser to write DVD-R discs. DVD-R(G) is intended for home use, while DVD-R(A) is intended for professional development. DVD-R(A) media is not writable in DVD-R(G) recorders, and vice-versa, but both kinds are readable in most DVD players and drives.

 

The main differences, in addition to recording wavelength, are that DVD-R(G) uses decrementing pre-pit addresses, a pre-stamped (version 1.0) or pre-recorded (version 1.1) control area, CPRM (see 1.11), and allows double-sided discs. A third version for "special authoring" may be developed, allowing protected movie content to be recordedon DVD-R media.
