Chapter 1 Product Information
This chapter describes the hp dvd-writer dvd100i internal drive and is or anized as
follows: Product History
CD Technology
The first CD technolo y to be used with computers was CD-ROM, a read-only
technolo y. In the early 1990’s CD-R (CD-Recordable) drives became available to
consumers for storin data permanently on a disc that could be read by any
CD-ROM drive. Now Compact Disc ReWritable, or CD-RW, technolo y is available to
consumers. CD-RW lets users rewrite CDs up to 1,000 times. CD-RW lets users easily
store and erase data on CDs for playback on:
■MultiRead-compatible CD-ROM drives
■CD-R drives
■CD-RW drives
DVD Technology
A DVD disc is the same size as a CD, but holds much more data.
A DVD disc holds 4.7 GB per layer, which equals 135
minutes of compressed video. .
The DVD lo o is trademarked and owned by the DVD
Consortium.
What is MultiRead?
Hewlett-Packard Company played a principal role in the creation of MultiRead
technolo y that makes CD-RW media read-compatible with the spectrum of current
drives:
■CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory)
■CD-R (CD-Recordable)
■CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)
■DVD-ROM (Di ital Versatile Disc-Read Only
Memory)
■DVD+RW (Di ital Versatile Disc-ReWritable)
The MultiRead lo o on CD and DVD products indicates MultiRead compatibility.
