DTS
Digital audio compression technology
developed by DTS, Inc. is technology
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. e
surround channel is stereo and there
is discrete subwoofer channel in this
format. DTS provides the same 5.1
discrete channels of high quality digital
audio. e good channel separation is
realized because the all channel data
is recorded discrete and processed in
digital.
DVD VIDEO
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of
moving pictures even though its diameter
is the same as an AUDIO CD. e data
capacity of a single-layer and single-
sided DVD VIDEO, at 4.7 GB (Giga
Byte), is 7 times that of an AUDIO CD.
Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-
layer and single-sided DVD VIDEO is
8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided
DVD VIDEO 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer
and double-sided DVD VIDEO 17 GB.
e picture data uses the MPEG2 format,
one of the worldwide standards for digital
compression technology. e picture data
is compressed to about 1/40 of its original
size. e DVD VIDEO also uses variable
rate coding technology that changes the
data to be allocated according to the
status of the picture.
e audio data is recorded in Dolby
Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to
enjoy more realistic audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided
with the DVD VIDEO.
DVD-RW
A DVD-RW is a recordable and
rewritable disc that is the same size as
a DVD VIDEO. e DVD-RW has two
dierent modes: VR mode and Video
mode. DVD-RWs created in Video
mode have the same format as a DVD
VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video
Recording) mode allow the contents to
be programmed or edited.
DVD+RW
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable
and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a
recording format that is comparable to
the DVD VIDEO format.
File
An MP3 le, JPEG image le, DivX video
le or MPEG4 video le recorded on a
DATA CD or DATA DVD. (“File” is an
exclusive denition for this system.)
Film based software, Video based
software
DVD VIDEOs can be classied as Film
based or Video based soware. Film
based DVD VIDEOs contain the same
images (24 frames per second) that are
shown at movie theaters. Video based
DVD VIDEOs, such as television dramas
or sitcoms, displays images at 30 frames
(or 60 elds) per second.
