As the title states, I would like to understand what exactly a 'dvd' is. I'm led to understand that it is similar to a vinyl record but attempts to clarify further (particularly on the material used and how it records data) were...futile.

If someone with a greater understanding of the technology could enlighten me, I would very much appreciate it.

That requires you or someone you've taught to still be around to fix it.

(They've nearly died or been imprisoned or had something else horrible happen to them... a lot. It's worse than back when they ran with the Rangers.

Even if he's alive, whose to say he won't have the memory of how to build it erased?)

There is such a thing as leaving written instructions. I'm not so thoughtless.

[telepathicignorance]

Not a lot of people smart enough to follow written instructions.

(Now they're just being an ass because they think they're funny.

People are, as a whole, really fucking stupid. They've seen the way even something simple like "do not put metal in the microwave" can be ignored because "it's a spoon" as though somehow the designation as a piece of silverware changes the material.)

Then that is their problem, not mine.

[ Emet-Selch has a very low threshold for bullshit tolerance unfortunately. ]

Fair enough.

Good luck with figuring out how to make DVDs work. You're going to need it.
