CD and DVD Drives

One main advantage of CD-ROMs is that a CD-ROM can store much more information than DVDs.

A CD-RW drive is able to Read CDs, VCDs, and write CD-R and CD-RW.

The media is claimed by the manufacturers to last anywhere from 20 to 100 years. There is considerable doubt as to whether this is true, and there is much debate on the topic.

Below I have linked to a very informative page on the topic.

A CD-ROM can hold up to 700MB (megabytes), while a DVD ROM can hold up to 4.7GB (gigabytes, one gigabyte = 1024, megabytes). CD-ROMs are slightly cheaper to manufacture.

DVD stands for Digital Versatile (or Video) Disc. It is used for storing information in digital form

CD-ROM or DVD-ROM

no way but you can burn on blank DVD

Yes.

Thus it allows for more data to be stored, obviously.

This brings many benefits in for example console gaming, the PS3 able to read blu ray disks, has a big advantage over the XBOX 360 when it comes to high resolution games.

The textures that the game uses, don't have to be compressed and packed on a blu ray disk, thus, the console doesn't have to do any computing work to decompress the textures, the XBOX360 on the other hand has to compress all the textures on certain games, because the HD-DVD doesn't have the capacity to carry all uncompressed textures. And therefore, with its compressed textures, it has to sacrifice from its already low computing power to decompress the textures.

The reason why most of the games until now have been equal or better for the XBOX360 in terms of graphics, is because the PS3 uses a very sophisticated and complicated CPU structure, which would require a lot more work to utilize all the power.

Since the XBOX360 uses a "regular desktop CPU" (if I remember correctly a 3-core CPU), programmers have preferred to develop the games utilizing regular programming style, making it not very compatible for the PS3, this is where the developers would cut the graphics on the PS3, because there is no time to reprogram almost everything just that it runs smooth on the PS3.

Now however, the XBOX360 has reached its limit in power, and developers have started to do it the other way, program the games for the rather special PS3 CPU, utilizing all the power it has to offer, making games look very good.

There is a data cable,and a power cable that connect the drive to your PC.

Everything is done with the data cable, there is no audio or video wires.

It's the same with DVD optical drives. A Blu-Ray reader (or player) is a drive or a stand alone home theater appliance that can play or read Blu-Ray movies or read Data on Blu-Ray discs. A blu-Ray burner is a drive that can write or "burn" data on Blu-Ray discs.

I'm actually using a USB Blu-Ray burner with my system. It's from a company called DIGISTOR. Very very nice. Hope the answer helped.

The idea for DVD players began in 1994, but were not released on the market until 1996. It is hard to say who the first company to come up with the idea was since several companies released DVD players all at the same time.

No, this isn't possible because Blu Ray Discs have a special outer covering that makes the movie you are watching better quality. DVDs don't have this special outer covering, therefore it isn't possible.

I believe that they are you should shred them before you recycle them they can go through a shredder and be mixed with paper. There is also places where they are mainly for CD or DVD recycling.

It is french for "recordable"

It does not mean it will work with lightscribe as I was told by a sales assistant at Costco!

iPod supports formats such as MP4 (supported by iPod, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic etc.), MOV (Quick time video), M4V (standard video for iPod and PSP). So you need a DVD to iPod converter if you want put DVDs to your iPod. The following steps are provided for your reference: First,download a DVD to iPod converter at:http://www.pavtube.com/dvd_to_ipod/ Second,run this program,add DVDs to it,select output formats,and click"ripping" Third,a few minutes later,it will finish ripping. Last,copy ripped DVDs to the iTunes library,then sync iTunes with iPod manually or automatically.

RAM stands for Random Access Memory or memory in your computer that can be read and written to by programs. The amount of RAM in a computer has a bearing on how much work it can do in a given amount of time, and how complex a program that can be run. The other type of electronic memory in a computer is called ROM, or Read Only Memory, and is the kind of memory that is programmed permanently at the factory that makes your computer a computer and not a toaster. ROM is fixed and usually a smaller size, RAM is expandable (to a point).

No. You can use them in dual format drives, though.

The digital answering machine was invented in 1991 Paste this link to find out more...

Burning a DVD on to laptop is just like buring DVD on to a common computer, except your laptop is mac.

You just need dowloaded movie or videos on your laptop, a blank DVD disc, and a DVD burner.

You can choose to burn the DVD on to a DVD disc to play it on your DVD player, or burn it to a DVD folder or ISO for backup.

You would obviously have to purchase a CD/DVD drive. The only computers these days likely not to have one are netbooks. You can purchase external CD/DVD drives for these computers at most online electronics retailers.

Computers are used everywhere like :

a. Banks

b. Hospitals

c. Offices

d. Schools

e. Making a movie

f. Railway stations and airports

g. Designing

h. Space Research

i. Homes

j.Publishing and in many more places.
