DVD-ROM

DVD-ROM (an acronym for Digital Versatile Disc ) is an optical media format that was popular in the early 2000s, superseding the CD-ROM format.

Specifications
The standard data rate of a video DVD is 1,353 KB per second, about nine times that of a standard CD at 1x speed. DVDs can also be double-layered and/or double-sided to further increase capacity.

History
DVD-ROM became the default method of installing Adobe Creative Suite 3, which incorporated Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash after Macromedia was acquired by Adobe Systems in December 2005. Adobe has since phased out using physical media in favor of applications downloaded directly through Adobe Creative Cloud.
