How To Choose The Right DVD Media For Video Playback Capability

DVD media can hold over seven times the data of a standard compact disc. Today’s consumers want to produce and burn their own video creations and have them work with most set-top DVD players. Choosing the right DVD media to suit your video needs can be confusing. Here are the rounded up five popular DVD media, DVD-R and DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM, which will be readable by another computer or will play in a majority of set-top DVD players.
DVD-R media has proven to be one of the most versatile, reliable, compatible media available today. This write-once-only format is the cheapest, and widely available and compatible with a wide range of home DVD players. It’s ideal for video recording and important data and protecting it from erasure or modification.
DVD media will last a lifetime, and provides a reliable way to store and protect your important video or data. DVD-RAM discs can be written and rewritten to more than 100,000 times. Capacities are available up to 9.4GB, making DVD widely available and compatible with a wide range of home DVD players. To protect your digital creations and computer data, you should select high-quality media for long-term storage.
Whether your DVD media is being handed out at a trade show, sent to millions in a mass mailing, or displayed in a retail point-of-sale, to keep your system running smoothly during video transfer or burn, shut down all programs but the ones you need to complete your task. This frees system resources and avoids ‘distracting’ your computer from the burn in a way that could lead to lost data.
