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.

it's magic.

I know very well 'tis not in this case.

Do not think me a gullible fool simply because I am unfamiliar with the terminology.

[foolprove]

nah, i don't know you enough to think you're a fool.

i just have whimsy in my heart for the more interesting things in life, like cds playing music somehow.

apologies have such a hard time focusing sometimes @_@

I make no promises. I must focus on the development of the ship engine before I can turn my energies towards this vanity project.

But I would welcome a physical sample of this disc you and the other boy seem to be familiar with. I can hardly design a machine to read something I have never laid eyes upon.
