Different Discs and Different Risks: Choosing the Medium That’s Right for Your Project

Posted on 23 March 2009


By Andrew Shapiro

DVD, CD-Rom, Audio CD, even web-based delivery; we’ve never had so many options to deliver high quality audio – visual information to our clients and consumers. It can sometimes be a bewildering process to choose between formats. In other cases people begin the conceptualization of a project only to realize, halfway through, that the medium they had in mind does not compliment the requirements of the project at hand.
