What is a "digital versatile disc"?
A digital versatile disc (DVD), also known as a digital video disc, is an optical disc used for storing and playing digital data, such as movies, television shows, and software. It offers higher storage capacity compared to traditional CDs, enabling it to hold more data and provide better video and audio quality. DVDs can be played using DVD players or computer drives and often include additional features like menus, subtitles, and extra content. The format gained widespread use for home entertainment and data storage before the advent of Blu-ray Discs and digital streaming services.
