Comparison of various optical storage media. This article compares the technical specifications of multiple high-definition formats, including HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc; two mutually incompatible, high-definition optical disc formats that, beginning in 2006, attempted to improve upon and eventually replace the DVD standard.
For comparison with analogue media, the pitch of the spiral of a 240-groove-per-inch long-playing record and a Laserdisc are 106 μm (66 times the CD track pitch) and 4.6 μm (2.9 times), respectively. The tip of a 0.7-mil stylus has a diameter of 18 μm (11 times that of the CD laser spot). Data is from , , and .

An optical disc is designed to support one of three recording types: read-only (such as CD and CD-ROM), recordable (write-once, like CD-R), or re-recordable (rewritable, like CD-RW). Write-once optical discs commonly have an organic dye (may also be a ( phthalocyanine ) azo dye , mainly used by Verbatim , or an oxonol dye, used by Fujifilm [ 4 ...
Those 74 minutes come from the maximum playtime that the Red Book (audio CD standard) specifies for a digital audio CD (CD-DA); although now, most recordable CDs can hold 80 minutes worth of data. The DVD and Blu-ray discs hold a higher capacity of data, so reading or writing those discs in the same 74-minute time-frame requires a higher data ...
Comparison of several forms of disk storage showing tracks (not-to-scale); green denotes start and red denotes end. * Some CD-R(W) and DVD-R(W)/DVD+R(W) recorders operate in ZCLV, CAA or CAV modes. Mechanically there are two different motions occurring inside the drive. One is the rotation of the disks inside the device.
