DVD

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD.

The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.

Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.

The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology.

The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture.

The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio presence.

Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi- angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

Multi-angle function

Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a scene are recorded on some DVDs

Multilingual function

Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are re- corded on some DVDs.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.

Playback Control (PBC)

Signals encoded on Video CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback. By using menu screens recorded on Video CDs with PBC func- tions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, pro- grams with search functions, and so on.

The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a 12 cm Video Disc can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.

Video CDs also contain compact audio data. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed. Video CDs can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional audio CDs.
