The
DVD Card is an optical disc with a much larger capacity than the compact
disc (CD). It is available in a family of pre-recorded, recordable and
re-writable formats to meet the requirements of the industries mentioned
below.
While DVD-Video was the
first of the DVD formats to be developed and has received most attention,
DVD-ROM Card is potentially more important and will support a larger
range of applications particularly where the CD-ROM Card capacity is
inadequate. DVD-ROM Card titles include multi-disc CD-ROM games and
reference titles converted to DVD, new versions of CD-ROM titles with
additional, high quality MPEG-2 video and applications designed from
the outset for DVD. The DVD-ROM Card will be available in the first
quarter of 2001 and mass production is scheduled to begin soon.
