DivX

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a relatively small file size.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output.

Film: Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24 frames per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs recorded at 30 frames per second as well).

Generally appropriate for motion picture films.

Video: Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second (PAL discs) or 30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs). Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.

Finalize

Aprocess that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, etc. possible on equipment that can play such media.

After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer record or edit.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10– 1/100 of its original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.

MPEG4

A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus. (This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)
