It was initially named "Digital Versatile Disc" which I thought was dumb. Panasonic may have chosen to call it "Digital Video Disc" instead - which makes more sense to me.

Great video. It's not every day you get to see the inner workings of your home theater equipment.

Digital Video Disc - Audio????

I dunno. DVD-A didn't come out until later, they probably just added the "A" on.
