1. The official DVD specification is maintained by the DVD Forum, formerly the DVD Consortium, consisting of the ten founding companies and over 220 additional members. The first DVD players and discs were available in November 1996 in Japan, March 1997 in the United States, 1998 in Europe and in 1999 in Australia.

2. A 74-minute (650MB) disc has roughly 333,000 sectors while the 80 minute (700MB) one has approximately 360,000 sectors allowing greater storage. 90 and 99 minute versions follow the same logical extension cramming more sectors at the cost of reliability across drives. Pits are much closer to the label side of a disc, so that defects and dirt on the clear side can be out of focus during playback. Consequently, discs are much easier to ruin by scratching their label side, whereas clear-side scratches can be repaired by refilling them with plastic of similar index of refraction.
