Right, which is it?
Some sources say that DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc, and others say Digital Video Disc.
Even the dictionaries are rowing about it. Which came first, the DVD or the DVD? (If you see what I mean.)
I feel it's important, because in generations to come, the actual meaning of the acronymn could be lost, and if we don't do something about it now and set the record straight, future generations will be in trouble.
That's if DVD is still around in the next generation.
So, post your definitions here, and I want proof, you have to quote your sources.
