Fun fact: though Video has become accepted, DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc.
Fun Fact: DVD originally was called Digital Video Disc and was changed shortly after because it began being used for other non-video purposes.
Source: I was there when DVD was first introduced to the market.

I looked into it further because I definitely remember them being introduced as Versatile; the name change happened in 1995 about a year and a half before the first DVDs were produced.
Well, today I learned!
