Don't confuse the two...DV and DVD are 2 different animals...
DV implies that a certain CODEC was used to compress video into a certain
frame size and format. Analog video is compressed approx. 5.2 : 1 to create
DV.
A DVD will take that info and compress it down further.
As an analogy, you mix flour, milk, eggs and sugar to make cake batter. This
weighs a certain amount. Then you bake it, and there is your cake, or your
DV video. It's lost some weight (compressed) but looks beautiful.
Now, freeze dry this cake to remove all the water, and it will weigh next to
nothing but still look like a cake. Thats DVD.
