What is the difference between DVD-Video and DVD-ROM?
DVD-Video holds video programs (a DVD movie is a good example) and is played in a DVD-player connected to a TV. Computers can also be configured to emulate DVD-players so DVD-Video can play on your computer as well. DVD-ROM is a DVD that can take advantage of any computer resource (the Internet!) and is only read by a DVD-ROM drive hooked up to a computer. The difference is similar to that between Audio CD and CD-ROM.
