Digital Video (Versatile) Disk - Read Only Memory- A Drive that only reads DVD's (Hardware)
Short for digital versatile disc or digital video disc, a new type of CD-ROM that holds a minimum of 4.7GB gigabytes, enough for a full-length movie. Often shortened to DVD. The DVD specification supports discs with capacities of from 4.7GB to 17GB and access rates of 600KBps to 1.3 MBps. One of the best features of DVD drives is that they are backward-compatible with CD-ROMs. This means that DVD players can play earlierCD-ROMs as well as later DVD-ROMs. Newer DVD players can also read CD-R discs.
A drive, found in some computers, that plays or reads DVD software and movies. It can also read/play CD software and music
The DVD-ROM lets you play full-motion video and games on your desktop computer. Besidese playing DVD's, a DVD-ROM is also able to play CD's and can take the place of a CD-ROM on a desktop computer.
A drive capable of reading DVD disks. DVD-ROM drives are usually backward-compatible, which means that they are also capable of reading CD-ROMs and audio CDs.
DVD Read-Only Memory. A DVD which contains computer data (rather than a movie), and can't be erased or rewritten.
A version of the DVD disc format for computers which may eventually replace CD-ROM's.
The read-only format supports discs with capacities of from 4.7GB (enough for an MPEG-2 compressed full-length movie) to 17GB and access rates of 600 KBps to 1.3 MBps. Backward-compatible with CD-ROMs.
A digital versatile disc (DVD) is an advanced form of CD that can store vast amounts of information on a single disc. For example, whole movies, special features and music tracks can fit on one disc. A DVD looks physically similar to a CD but can only be played in a DVD player. To add information to a DVD you need a blank DVD to record to and a DVD recorder or burner.
One step up from a CD-ROM, a DVD can store around 4 gigabyte s of information. Like CD's, they only store information, and cannot be written to without special equipment.
Like CD-ROMs but better! Read by DVD-ROM drives installed in PCs, DVD-ROM discs exist in various capacities from one-sided single-layer (4.7GB) to dual-layer, dual side (17GB).

a storage device that is used with a computer system, while a DVD-VIDEO is used for digital movies
Supplemental materials on a DVD that can only be accessed by a computer with a DVD-ROM drive.
DVD-ROM is a replacement for the CD-ROM found in virtually all modern computers. It's advantages are the greatly increased storage capacity and a higher playback speed. DVD-Video discs can also be played back via a DVD-ROM drive. There are a few DVD-ROM releases available and it is predicted that DVD-ROM will eventually supercede CD-ROM as the storage format of choice for computer users.
Drive that reads DVD media.

Similar to CD-Rom but with a much larger storage capacity requiring a DVD-Rom Drive to read
DVD-ROM can be compared with CD-ROM. As it provides at least 7 times the capacity of CD-ROM, it is predestined for complex multimedia applications and games. For storage capacities please refer to [DVD-5], [DVD-9], [DVD-10] and [DVD-18].

DVD-ROMS are a relatively new format that is completely different from the other CD formats I mentioned (except for the size of the disc). The information can be on a single layer, 2 layers, or if it's a double sided disc, 4 layers. It can store much more info than a standard CD ROM. As much as 17 gigabytes if all 4 layers are used. Blank DVDs are available in DVD5 (4.7GB) and DVD9 (8.5GB). At this time, double-sided blanks are not available.
