DVD-R was first released in 1997 with only 3.5GB of disc capacity. Now the typical DVD-R media has 4.7GB of disc capacity. Most computers now come with a DVD drive with recording (burning) capabilities, making it a snap to save music, video, and data on to a DVD-R disc. If your computer does not come with a DVD recorder, a DVD burner can be easily purchased for under $50. For professional duplications, DVD duplication towers can back up your DVD-R in even less time. A dvd player is an entertainment staple in every household. You can take advantage of that fact and disseminate your music, videos, and pictures through DVDs. Whether it's professional videos or family pictures, the wide acceptance of DVDs makes DVD-Rs the ideal media to create your vision.
