What is data disc?

A data disc is a CD or DVD used to store electronic data, such as the files and applications that reside on your computer's hard drive. Here are some facts you should know about data discs:

Unlike audio CDs, data discs are used to store files that are readable only by a computer. Data discs cannot be played on your home or car stereo ¡ª even if audio files are on the disc.

A data DVD can typically hold up to 4.7 GB of information and can be read with any appropriate DVD drive.

A data CD can hold up to 700 MB of information and can be accessed with any computer equipped with a CD-ROM drive or CD recorder.

A data disc is great for backing up your hard drive or storing important information such as your taxes, reports, and spreadsheets.

Because of its portability, a data disc is very useful for sharing multimedia presentations, graphics, reports, and other business information with colleagues or customers.

You can append information to a data disc created with Easy audio/data CD/DVD burner. If you're using rewritable discs, Easy audio/data CD/DVD burner offers you the choice of appending or erasing and rewriting your disc.

DVD- video disc region code

Each DVD-Video disc contains one or more region codes, denoting the area(s) of the world in which distribution and playback are intended. The commercial DVD player specification dictates that a player must only play discs that contain its region code. In theory, this allows the motion picture studios to control the various aspects of a release (including content, date and price) on a region-by-region basis, or ensure the success of "staggered" or delayed cinema releases from country to country. For example, the British movie 28 Days Later was released on DVD in Europe several months prior to the film's release in North American movie theaters. Regional coding kept the European DVD unplayable for most North American consumers, thereby ensuring that ticket sales would be relatively unaffected.
