i think they cost till 25rs. i.e they are writable dvds and not re-writable ones..
well u dont need a special dvd player 2 play them..
they can b played on conventional dvd players

i got rewritable one for 350. but you might get it cheaper in mumbai.

The files are stored in mpg format.

ps - think of 30gb harddisk based cam instead of dvd one. i guess very less difference in cost. dvd ones are what are sold right now but i guess they will be extinct soon and will be replaced by HD ones.
