What are DVDs, VCDs and S-VCDs?

DVDs

DVD is the abbreviation for Digital Versatile Disc. DVDs serve to store audio and video data; they are available in 8 cm and 12 cm (diameter) formats. DVDs offer – thanks to their storage capacity which is many timer higher than CD- Rs/CD-RWs – a playback duration of the audio and video data stored on them of up to eight hours.

VCDs/S-VCDs

Video-CD (VCD) and Super Video-CD (S-VCD) describe two methods for compressed– i.e. to save space – storage of films on CDs. VCDs and S-VCDs are available in 8 cm and 12 cm (diameter) formats. Their storage capacity is many times lower than that of DVDs. Therefore they only offer a playback duration of the audio and video data stored on

them of 20 minutes (8 cm format) and 74 minutes (12 cm format) respectively

There are two versions of VCDs:

•Version 1.1 VCDs/S-VCDs can only play audio and video data.

•Version 2.0 VCDs/S-VCDs have so-called PBC (Playback Control) functions. In addition, fixed images with high- er resolution can be played back

What are titles and chapters?

The largest units of picture and sound units on DVDs are called titles; on many DVDs, the (main) film has title number 01. For bonus material (e. g. film trailers, back- ground information etc.), which is available on many DVDs, other title numbers can possibly be used.

The next smallest picture and sound units below titles are called chapters. If the title(s) of a DVD is(are) subdivided into chapters, then numbers are allocated to them and if these numbers are entered, then the chapters can be se- lected directly.

Please note that not on all DVDs

•is(are) the title(s) subdivided in (numbered) chapters

•are the chapters also described as scenes (e. g. in the main menu of DVDs)

What are Scart, S-Video, composite video?

Scart

Scart describes a 21-pin standard plug-type connection through which the RGB signals, video signals and S-Video signals as well as quite a few control and additional signals are transmitted.

S-Video

When connecting a DVD player to a television via S-Video, brightness and colour signals are separated; this achieves

ahigher focus and a lower so-called “coloured noise”. Col- oured noise is what one calls the overlaying of the col- oured, mostly strongly saturated parts of a video image made by an irregular, turbulent structural disturbance.

Composite video

Video signal or FBAS signal; this is a picture signal in which both colour and brightness information is contained si- multaneously.
