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,[5] which incorporated Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash after Macromedia was acquired by Adobe Systems in December 2005.[6] Adobe has since phased out using physical media in favor of applications downloaded directly through Adobe Creative Cloud.[7]
