About DVDs
Music CDs and DVDs have grooves (tracks) in which the digital
data is recorded. The data is represented as microscopic pits
recorded into the track – these pits are read by a laser beam to
play the disc. On DVDs, the density of the tracks and pits is
twice that of CDs, so DVDs can contain more data in less
space.
A 12 cm disc can contain one movie or about four hours of music.
In addition, DVDs provide sharp picture quality with vivid colours
thanks to a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines (compared to less
than 300 for VHS tape). With the addition of an optional, digital audio
processor (PXA-H510, PXA-H900, PXA-H701, etc.), you can
recreate the power and presence of a movie theater with Dolby Digital
5.1-channel Surround.
