Hole for One Foot in the Grave dvd

This mechanism is shown right side up; the disc would sit on top of it. The laser and optical system scans the underside of the disc.

With reference to the photo, just to the right of image center is the disc spin motor, a gray cylinder, with its gray centering hub and black resilient drive ring on top. A clamp not in the photo, retained in the drive’s cover, pulled down by a magnet, clamps the Rome dvd disc when this mechanism rises, after the disc tray stops moving inward. This motor has an external rotor – every visible part of it spins.The gray metal chassis is shock-mounted at its four corners to reduce sensitivity to external shocks, and to reduce drive noise when running fast. The soft shock mount grommets are just below the brass-colored washers at the four corners the left one is obscured. Running through those grommets are screws to fasten them to the black plastic frame that’s underneath.

Two parallel precision guide rods that run between upper left and lower right in the photo carry the sled, the moving optical read-write head. As shown, this “sled” is close to, or at the position where it reads or writes at the edge of the disc.A dark gray disc with two holes on opposite sides has a blue lens surrounded by silver-colored metal. This PCB Assembly is the lens that’s closest to the disc; it serves to both read and write by focusing the laser light to a very small spot. It is likely that this disc rotates half a turn to position a different set of optics the other hole for One Foot in the Grave dvd.

Under the disc is an ingenious actuator comprising permanent magnets and coils that move the lens up and down to maintain focus on the data layer. As well, the actuator moves the lens slightly toward and away from the spin-motor spindle to keep the spot on track. Both focus and tracking are relatively quite fast and very precise. The same actuator rotates the lens mount half a turn as described.

However, unlike previous format changes, audio tape to Compact Disc or VHS videotape to So You Think You Can Dance dvd, there is no immediate indication that production of the standard DVD will gradually wind down, as they still dominate, with around 75% of video sales and approximately one billion DVD player sales worldwide as of 3 April 2011. In fact, experts claim that the DVD will remain the dominant medium for at least another five years as Blu-ray technology is still in its introductory phase, write and read speeds being poor as well as the fact of necessary hardware being expensive and not readily available.

To select tracks or files as well as advancing the sled during continuous read or write operations, a stepping motor rotates a coarse-pitch leadscrew to move the sled throughout its total travel range. The motor, itself, is the gray cylinder just to the left of the most-distant shock mount; its shaft is parallel to the support rods. The leadscrew, itself, is the rod with evenly-spaced darker details; these are the helical groove that engages a pin on the sled.Durability of DVDs is measured by how long the data may be read from the disc, assuming compatible devices exist that can read it: that is the oc dvd, how long the disc can be electronic assembly stored until data is lost. Five factors affect durability: sealing method, reflective layer, organic dye makeup, where it was manufactured, and storage practices.

The irregular orange material is flexible etched copper foil supported by thin sheet plastic; these are “flexible printed circuits” that connect everything to the electronics which is not shown.
