Tray Printed side 18 DEFINITION OF TERMS DVD Video This refers to a high-density optical disc on which highquality pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG-2) and high-density recording technology. DVD Video enables esthetically pleasing fullmotion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded). DVD Video has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD Video has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in the future for even longer duration play. MPEG MPEG stands for Moving Picture Expert Group. It is regarded as an international standard for compressing and restoring digital video and audio signal. "MPEG" standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD Video is based on MPEG-2. MP3 MP3 is an audio data reduction format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10. Aspect ratio (DVD Video) The aspect ratio is the ratio between the vertical and horizontal size of the picture displayed on a TV screen. The aspect ratio of normal TV screen is 4:3 while that of the wide-screen TV and HDTV screen is 16:9. Subtitle (DVD Video) Some DVD Videos contain the recording of more than one subtitle languages.
