| DVD-R | Like its CD counterpart, CD-R, DVD-R discs are pre-manufactured optical media with no data on them, but the ability to have data recorded onto them using disc “burning” or duplication equipment. DVD-R stands for Digital Video Disc Recordable. DVD-R’s offer the benefit of being able to be produced much faster (in small quantities) than the more traditional stamped DVD-ROM discs; however, depending on the application, they may, in some cases, be a less universally compatible solution than DVD-ROM discs. |
