Disco de Vídeo Digital, Disco de Video Digital Explanation: The microsoft glossaries carry DVD as DVD with the explanation of Disco de Video Digital. The Asociación de Ingenieros de Sistemas (España) carries it as Disco de Vídeo Digital. Please note that in LA Spanish Video does not have an accent, whereas in Spain it does. Hope it helps, Ricardo Martinez de la Torre Santiago, Chile |

DVD = Digital Versatile Disk Explanation: Aunque inicialmente significaba Digital Video Disk, recientemente ha sido rebautizado como Digital Versatile Disk, dado que no sólo se utiliza para vídeo, sino también para audio de alta calidad, habiendo salido ya al mercado los primeros discos DVD sólo con música (o sea, sin imagen alguna). Ver "Hi Fi & Record Review", revista inglesa sobre alta fidelidad. |
