An overview of DVD Technology as it applies to Macintosh computers.
In researching Chapter 3 (File Management) for my upcoming Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide, I poked around on Apple’s support Web site for a complete list of the CD and DVD media that’s supported by Apple’s optical drives. I stumbled upon “DVD Technology: Overview,” which summarizes DVD formats and explains how they work using text, tables, and even images. A list of related documents, with links, rounds out the article by providing easy access to related information.
The information in the article goes far beyond the few facts I needed for my book. I highly recommend it if you have any questions about the DVD drive in your Mac.
