I'd guess that "DVD" meaning "digital video disc" was used during the design by the engineers, and then the marketing folks reinvented the name.
If as Wikipedia says, the DVD Forum web page is managed by Toshiba rather than by the Forum, then you can't take for gospel everything they say as being the opinion of the DVD Forum. |
Commen Sense says? so if I had some then i would have thought of that myself...thanks
and you "guess" that the engineers used the term originally? must be true then
And you were happy to quote wikipedia on "the official DVD Forum site" as if the DVD forum was the place that would know the facts and now just as happy to claim we "can't take for gospel everything they say" when their own FAQ doesnt even hint at the possibility of the definition you're pushing.
