Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be viewed on a widescreen television with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
This means you can view most material with the intended aspect ratio on a widescreen television.
Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard television with an aspect ratio of 4:3. Two styles of picture, “Pan&Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal
with this problem.
Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Playback control (PBC)
This is a method of playing Video CDs. You can select parts to play by using menus recorded on the disc.
Play list
This is a collection of scenes. It enables you to play these scenes in succession or to select specific ones to play.
Programme (PRG)
The section between the point where recording is started and the point where it is stopped.
Sampling frequency
This is the number of samples of sound taken per second during conversion to a digital signal. A high sampling frequency results in a sound
close to the original when played back.
S-video output
The colour and luminance signals are separated before being sent to the television, making for greater picture clarity.
