| Book Type |
The book type defines the specification (e.g. DVD-, DVD+, DVD-ROM) of a DVD. In order to ensure correct playback, the DVD specifications are defined in books so that all media can be read correctly. The specifications are defined in the so-called Rainbow Books, which are distinguished by means of their color (e.g. Yellow Book).
| Disc type |
Disc type refers to different optical storage media with different specifications. The best known are CD’s and DVD’s that can be written to once or multiple times, and which are manufactured with different storage capacities.
