They missed the opportunity of calling compact disc "Digital Audio Disc"

Syndicated from the fediverse. Read and engage on the original instance.

How would VCD be called then?

This joke is probably so trivial to come up that it isn't documented.

DVD stands for digital versatile disc.

Maybe it was renamed? It's weird that I've handled CDs but not DVDs.

DVD (digital video disc or digital versatile disc) is a digital optical disc data storage format.
