does the acronym DVD stand for...

I've seen it defined both ways, but I think "digital versatile disc" is more accurate, considering DVDs are being used more for storage, like Xbox games, instead of just video.

This a question for the ages. I've never found a definitive answer although I think it's Versatile since DVD is used for more than Video.
 
according to hollywood, it stands for VIDEO disc

according to comp industry, its VERSATILE disc

so its neither....just DVD.

I can't find a definition of the acronym anywhere on that site.
 
It stands for Digital Versatile Disc. I remember reading it before they ever became available about 10 years ago.


BTW, I think dvds are crap. Portable media should not be copy-protected - and it should not require a clean-room to keep from scratching.
 
Its really, Digital Versatile Disk.

There are 5 standards for the DVD format, videos being the most popular.
