Which characteristic describes a DVD-R?
- It's a Single Layer Disk
- It's a Dual Layer Disk
- You can record multiple times on the same disk
- It's smaller than a normal CD or DVD
Correct Answer

A. It's a Single Layer Disk

Explanation

A DVD-R is a type of DVD that can only be recorded on once, making it a single layer disk. This means that once data is written onto the DVD-R, it cannot be erased or rewritten. Unlike a DVD-RW, which allows for multiple recordings, a DVD-R is a write-once format. Therefore, the correct answer is "It's a Single Layer Disk."

True or False: Macs currently can burn Blurays out of the box.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Macs currently cannot burn Blurays out of the box. While Mac computers have the capability to read Bluray discs, they do not come with built-in software or hardware to burn data onto Bluray discs. To burn Blurays on a Mac, users would need to purchase external Bluray burners and third-party software specifically designed for this purpose. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
