1.44MB drive is a floppy drive and not a DVD drive. DVD and CD drives are bigger in size and connect with a different cable (same as a PATA harddisk cable) on the motherboard. - Neeraj Sharma

How man y megabytes are there in a DVD?

In my experience downloading movies and dvd's... there is somewhere between 700mb to 875mb per movie/dvd....although today dvd's/movies can contain 1024mb which is roughly 1gb. I'd say is safe to bet dvd/movie downloads to contain around 700mb to just over 1024mb or 1gb+or-. remember...1gb is roughly around 1024mb...from my knowledge. Please correct me if I'm wrong cause that would surely suck to be misinformed.
