The Process

VHS Tapes

DVD

DVD (Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc) is a high capacity optical disc perfect for video, multimedia, games and audio applications. Physically, DVDs are the same size and thickness as CDs but hold from seven to over 25 times the digital data.

This large data capacity has made the DVD an ideal vehicle for distributing video content. DVDs are replacing VHS tapes, just as CDs replaced vinyl records, but at a faster rate.

DVDs offer multiple angles option
DVDs are capable of multiple languages and soundtracks
DVDs are random accessible
DVDs are significantly more durable
