Recently, I’ve started editing home video as a hobby. I must admit that I’m a beginner in the CD/DVD field so my experience is almost equal to zero, therefore, I’m totally confused with all the terminology used all over. I can’t differ ROM from the RAM, the ?R from +R, the DVD from CD or VCD or SVCD etc’.
Is there anyone (kind enough) to explain me in common language, “what is what”?
Which terms are used to define the DEVICES (drives), which to define the MEDIA (discs) and which to define the different FORMATs (like: DV; DVD; DVD-VR; VCD ;SVCD, etc’). I understand that there are different types of DVDs too (-R/RW; +R/RW)
I’ll appreciate your answer (maybe using some kind of a table) so that things will start making sense for me.
Many Thanks and Appreciations from an almost desperate person,
Yossi
