DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc and is a digital format that provides superior picture and sound quality which has improved the
way we watch our films today. It works like a CD but has more than one layer. Therefore DVDs can hold at least seven times more information
than CDs. This is great for movies which are bundled with extra features such as screen re-sizing, subtitles and language options. When playing
DVD movies you can search for a particular scene, then view it in slow motion or still mode and you can choose to have subtitles and set the
shape of the picture. Other extras might be commentaries by cast and crew, interviews, biographies, photo galleries, trailers, TV previews,
deleted scenes from the movie, alternative endings, outtakes, behind-the-scenes documentaries, previews of other movies and music videos.

The world of DVD is no longer restricted just to DVD Players. The choice is in fact quite large and it purely depends on what
