Part 1: Different DVD formats<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Before we talk about how much data can a DVD hold, there is something else that you should know about. In fact, there are more than one format of DVD out there. DVDs in different formats have some slight differences in capacity. Some of the formats are writable, which means you can burn new content on it, while others are not. DVD formats describe the physical properties of the optical disc and how data is stored and manipulated on the disc. The formats are varied according to use, with the largest differences being whether or not the disc is written to. Within each use category, there are often competing formats or implementations. The most common formats of a DVD are DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD+R SL\/DL and DVD-R SL\/DL.<\/p>\n
