When data first started getting put onto compact discs in 1985 (until which time their sole purpose was for music), a typical CD held 74 minutes of music, or 650 million bytes of data. Today, your typical standard CD-ROM holds 80 minutes of music and 700 million bytes of data.

How many bytes does a DVD hold?

when we're talking about DVD movies thinking in terms of how many bytes is pretty rediculous. a very short DVD quality movie will be measured at least in tens of mega-bytes (Mb). one megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes. so, if you were, for instance, thinking in terms of how many bytes there were in a full-length DVD quality feature film then you would be talking about gigabytes(Gb). one Gb is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. you need between 1 and 3 gigs of space for a whole DVD worth of information.
