■CD-R (compact disc recordable): A type of CD that can be recorded only once. Can be used to make Video-CDs, audio CDs, or MP3/WMA/JPEG discs.

■CD-RW (compact disc rewritable): A type of CD that can be recorded many times. Can be used to make Video-CDs, audio CDs, MP3/WMA/JPEG discs.

■Chapter: Titles on DVD-Videos can be subdivided into chapters.

■Component video: A video connection format that sepa- rates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PR, PB), providing better picture quality than S-Video.

■Composite video: A video connection format that mixes the luminance and color signals together.

■Dolby Digital: The multi-channel digital surround sound format used on most DVD-Videos.

■Dolby Pro Logic: The four-channel analog surround sound format that can be encoded in normal stereo soundtracks and used with VHS video cassettes, analog TV broadcasts, and other analog stereo systems.

■Downmixing: The process of mixing multiple audio chan- nels into fewer channels. For example, a 5.1-channel surround mix can be downmixed into two channels for reproduction on stereo systems.

■Downsampling: The process of reducing the sampling rate of digital audio.

■DTS (Digital Theater System): The 5.1-channel surround format that uses less compression for faithful reproduction.

■DVD-R (DVD recordable): A type of DVD disc that can be recorded only once. Can be used to make DVD-Videos or to store computer data.

pressed file format used to store digital photos.

■LFE (low-frequency effects): The surround-sound chan- nel used for low-frequency effects.

■Linear PCM: The uncompressed digital audio format used for audio CDs. PCM stands for Pulse Code modulation.

■MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3): Popular compressed file format for storing digital music.

■MPEG1 (Moving Picture Experts Group 1): The com- pressed digital video format used for Video CDs.

■PBC (Playback Control): Version 2.0 of the Video CD standard supports interactive menus and search functions.

■Progressive scanning: TV pictures are made by scanning the screen in horizontal lines from top to bottom. With progres- sive scanning, each picture (frame) is made by scanning the entire screen in one go, resulting is a clearer and stabler picture. Contrast with Interlaced scanning.

■S-Video:A video connection format that separates the lumi- nance (Y) and color (C) signals, providing better picture quality than composite video.

■Title: Movies on DVD-Video are called titles.

■Video CD: The format for storing movies on CD.
