Popular Brands Of DVD ROMs

DVD or digital video disk is the latest buzz in the field of optical storage technology. It can store large amounts of data, high quality audio, video, and computer games. Among the various kinds of DVD, the most common and popular one is the DVD ROM. Just like CD, a DVD-ROM can also hold data, though there is much difference between the two. While the former can generally store 650 megabytes of data, the latter can store seven times more data.

In ROM type of DVDs, the data stored cannot be changed or deleted, though a consumer can easily access it. The manufacturers encode the data in such a way that the user or the consumer cannot write over. A maximum of 4.7 Gigabytes of data can be stored, which is considered enough for a full length movie. The data is encoded in the form of spiraling trail of pits and lands divided by nanometer. DVDs of films and music are some of the best examples of these types of disks.

Presently, some of the popular brands in the market are LG, Sony, Samsung, BenQ and several others. They are all leading manufactures of electronic products. Let us see the various models that these companies have on offer.
