| Press Setup on the remote control to enter the DV30 Setup menus: |
DVDs are encoded using the MPEG 2 lossy video format giving over two hours of high- |
|
quality digital video on single layer discs or over four hours on |
|
Note: Dual layer discs always exhibit a small pause or delay in playback when the layer |
|
transition is made. |
|
As well as the video itself, DVDs are also capable of storing up to eight alternative |
|
tracks of digital audio, 32 subtitle tracks and nine camera angles (where used by the | Setup |
film producers). |
|
DivX is an even more compressed (than normal DVD) digital video format, rather like |
|
MP3 for video. DivX compresses the video data to a fraction of its original size using |
|
the more lossy MPEG 4 Part 2 compression. DivX enhances the basic MP4 encoding |
|
by allowing extra features on the disc and various levels of quality or compression to |
|
be applied at the encoding stage. |
|
DivX or basic raw MPEG 4 files are supported by the DV30 on either CD or DVD discs. |
|
The DV30 may also be able to play MP4 type files created with other CODEC programs |
|
(such as Xvid®), but playback of these is not guaranteed. |
