DVD R

[Mark Zuckerberg]

Stands for Digital Versatile Disc Recordable. DVD R discs look the same as regular DVDs, but can be used to record data. Single-sided, single-layer DVD R discs can store 4.7GB of data, while double-layer discs can store 8.5GB and double-sided DVD-Rs can store 9.4GB. The DVD R format is not quite as common as the DVD-R format, but is still supported by most current DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. Drives that can read both DVD R and DVD-R discs are often referred to as DVD?R drives.
