Unfortunately, there are competing standards for DVD recordable technologies; most modern DVD drives, however, should be able to '''read''' these different technologies without much problem.<br /> <br /> == Future of DVD ==<br /> Like its conception, DVD's successor also shows signs of fracture, with competing standards such as HD-DVD, BluRay, and HVD.<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD Entry for DVD at wikipedia]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hardware]]</div>
