---DVD---
- DVD discs offer higher storage capacity than compact dics while having the same dimensions.
- DVD-ROM because data can only be read and not written nor erased.
- he DVD is made of a spiral groove read or written starting at the center. The form of the groove encodes unalterable identification data known as Media Identification Code
---Mini DV---
- is a DVd disc having 8 cm in diameter.
- A MiniDV can be played back in most DVD players that are tray loaded.
| Physical size | Single layer capacity | Dual/Double layer capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 12 cm, single sided | 4.7 GB | 8.5 GB |
| 12 cm, double sided | 9.4 GB | 17 GB |
| 8 cm, single sided | 1.4 GB | 2.66 GB |
| 8 cm, double sided | 2.8 GB | 5.2 GB |
---.AVI---
- AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback
- AVI divides a file's data into blocks, or "chunks." Each "chunk" is identified by a FourCC tag.
- AVI is not intended to contain variable frame rate material.
---.MPEG---
- The MPEG compression methodology is considered asymmetric as the encoder is more complex than the decoder
- MPEG is a working group of experts that was formed to set standards for audio and video compression and transmission.

---.DIVX---
- DivX 6 expanded the scope of DivX from including just a codec and a player
- It is one of several codecs commonly associated with "ripping", whereby audio and video multimedia are transferred to a hard disc and transcoded
- This new "DivX Media Format" also came with a "DivX Ultra Certified" profile, and all "Ultra" certified players must support all "DivX Media Format" features.
--MP4--
it is fully compatible and still is in development. It is able to mix different types of data like video, audio and speech.
