Types of CDs and DVDs
There are many types of CDs and DVDs that are commonly used.

Similarly, DVD-ROMs (Digital Versatile Disc Read-Only Memory) can only be read by computers but not written to, while DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc Rewritable) discs can both read from and write to.
How CDs and DVDs Are Made
CDs and DVDs are made using polycarbonate plastic discs with aluminum or silver reflective layers. The data is stored on the disc as a series of microscopic pits which reflect light differently than the flat parts between them. This reflection pattern is then interpreted by a laser beam in the drive as ones or zeros.
