There is lots of jargon in downloading - here is a quick guide: 

DVD: "Digital Versatile Disc" or "Digital Video Disc" - these are discs that look like compact discs (CDs) but hold much more data and are used now for storing movies, although recordable ones can be used for storing your music and computer files.  Obviously when people talk about downloading a DVD they really mean downloading the movie, not the disc itself!  (The internet is clever but it can't yet transport solid matter from one place to another!)

DivX: developed by DivXNetworks, it is a file format that enables movies to be downloaded much faster without losing any picture quality - just to confuse matters DivX is based on MPEG-4 technology!  Find out more by visiting their website.

 

MPEG-4: this is a set of standards for a file for video and audio, put together by the "Moving Picture Experts Group" (hence MPEG) and yes, you guessed it, it is their 4th version.

MP3: short for "MPEG Audio Layer 3" - aha! our MPEG friends again.  This file format is for digital audio, it uses a compression method that means smaller file sizes, but cleverly most people can't notice the reduction in quality.  So it's great for downloading music and playing on an MP3 player.

P2P: short for peer-to-peer, it is a form of computer network that does not rely on a client and server, but each computer is a peer or equal - great for downloading movies and music!  See our help page for more info.
