| HD DVD |
High Density DVD is a disc format. Corresponding drives use a blue-violet laser in order to read and write data and can also play back conventional DVD’s. . The shorter wavelength (405 nm) of this blue laser makes it possible to position the laser with greater accuracy. Data can be written in a more compact manner and takes up less space on the disc. An HD DVD can store up to 15 GB on a single layer disc and up to 30 GB on a dual layer disc. HD discs are available as HD DVD-R, HD DVD-RW and HD DVD-RAM.
| CD-R |
Compact Disc-Recordable is a technology for write-once media. The Orange Book standard defines the storage of audio data and other computer-readable data.
| CD-RW |
Compact Disc-ReWritable is a technology for rewritable media.
| DVD-R(W) |
DVD+/-ReWritable is a rewritable media format. It is fully and directly compatible with DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.
| DVD-RAM |
Digital Versatile Disc Random Access Memory is the first rewritable data carrier format developed. It is characterized by a distribution of sectors that makes it possible to achieve increased data integrity, quicker formatting, and improved error management in comparison to DVD+/-RW.
| BD-R |
The BD Recordable write-once data carrier is based on Blu-ray technology and can be obtained in single layer format with 23.3, 25, or 27 GB or in double layer format with 46.6, 50, or 54 GB.
| BD-RE |
The BD-Rewritable data carrier is based on Blu-ray technology and can be obtained in single layer format with 23.3 or 25 GB or in double layer format with 46.6 or 50 GB. In comparison to the DVD-/+RW, the BD-RE can be re-written more times and provides increased data integrity.
| DVD+R(W) |
DVD+ReWritable is a format of rewritable media that was developed jointly by Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Mitsubishi Chemical, Philips, Ricoh, Sony, Thomson and Yamaha. It is fully and directly compatible with DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.
