Almost all of use the cheap blank media but not all of us are concerned about this term. Blank media refers to the blank CD disc and DVD disc. Blank media DVD R is available now in the market.
The DVD had come to the market around 20 years back still there is some confusion regarding it right from the start, particularly with their very name. Some says the DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc because it could encode any kind of information in it. On the other hand some other says the acronym suggests Digital Video Disc, as that is their only true application, as a video format. The confusion still exists with the advent of successor formats such as the defunct HD-DVD and Blue-Ray DVD.
Known as an optical disc media storage format, DVDs have been used from their introduction in 1995 to store mass data, mostly video, that is data-intensive. These blank media DVD R are very effective. Now although the dimensions of DVDs matches with that of a Compact Disc or CD, DVDs are able to store over six time more data, with the advanced DVD formats, as the Blue-Ray, that is able to store many times above than the original DVD format - 50 GB to hardly 5GB!
You can find many types of these DVD formats especially blank media DVD R, though it's been around twenty years since they were availed for household use: DVD-ROM (Read-Only Memory) for playback; DVD+R and DVD-R for writing data (only once, however); DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and DVD-RAM for writing data many times. In the past there were also some DVD formats not commonly found or now no longer used, such as DVD-Audio and DIVX (not similar with DivX, the computer video codec).
DVD-Audio was a transitory effort to substitute the audio CD with a format suitable for latest multi-channel surround sound. DVD-Audio possibly never had a chance; as consumers were disinclined to not only substitute their existing CD collections but also purchasing new hardware. Just after three years following DVD's debut something called DIVX, or Digital Video Express, was invented that became one of the greatest technological clunkers of all time. However, the blank media DVD R is the most popular among all FVD formats.
