Playing a DVD
A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has greater data
capacity. Because of this increased capacity, full-length movies, several albums
of music, or several gigabytes of data can fit on a single disc. DVDs can be played
on a DVD player or a DVD drive-equipped computer.
For more information about playing DVDs, see “Playing music and movies” on
page 73.
Creating audio and video files
You can create audio and music files, either from scratch or from music CDs. You
can also create video files from home video. For more information, see “Creating
audio files and music libraries” on page 77, “Creating and editing videos” on
page 81, and “Editing videos” on page 81.
