Best Answer

DVD - Digital Versatile Disc

Various companies wanted to create a digital media format that would become the world's standard. This lead to intense competition between VHS and Betamax. As a result there were many different types of video formats and mediums, all incompatible with one another and requiring it's own hardware.

Few years later computer industry experts agreed to create a universal format - the DVD.

Who was father of DVD?

John Logie Baird has been called the father of television as it is easy to see that he produced the very first working television system in the world. He did his development work in his own building with his own resources and with his own hands. The development of CDs and later, DVDs were both commercial developments by a group of companies. The DVD was the result of years' of negotiation between manufacturers, Hollywood production companies and development companies. Perhaps the closest we can come to finding a father for the DVD is to put forward either Sony or Philips as candidates, being the original companies who began the development of the DVD. It will be hard to select one or the other so we should probably settle for both having shared parenting of the disc format.

Is DVDs invention or innovation?

The DVD was a development rather than an invention. It was a high density version of the Compact Disc that was the first of the low cost optical storage devices. Similarly, the Bluray disc is a higher density version of the DVD. The CD itself was a development of optical technologies with low power highly controllable lasers and plastics molding allowing CDs to be printed with accurate, tiny indentations. However, as the CD was the first of its kind, it can certainly be called an invention and so was the invention that lead to the DVD and then the Bluray discs.


Who was the inventor of the DVD?

DVD as an industry standard was announced in November 1995 and backed by major players in the CE, IT and movie industry. The first players appeared in Japan in November, 1996, followed by U.S. players in March, 1997. To produce DVD players, one needs to license a range of patents, owned by different companies. A number of these companies (Philips, Sony, Matsushita and Toshiba) have decided to license the necessary patents through one licensing agent. Philips has been selected to take up this administrative role. Matshusita, was the company mainly responsible for the development of DVD as it is today. Philips, one of the first companies to make CD players, was the first to make a DVD player. The invention of DVD cannot be attributed to one person or one company.
