DVD material can be divided into two types: |
| |
video based material and film based material. |
| |
Video based material is recorded at 30 frames |
| |
(60 fields) per second, and is normally used for |
| |
TV programs. Film based material is recorded |
| |
at 24 video images per second, and is used for |

most movies. Some DVDs contain both video |

A function of the DVD used to restrict playback |
| |
of the disc according to the age of the user and |
| |
the restriction level in each country. The |
| |
restriction varies from disc to disc; when it is |
| |
activated, playback can be completely |
| |
prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or |
| |
replaced with other scenes, and so on. |

Progressive scan (page 25) |
| |
Compared to standard interlace mode that |
| |
alternatively shows every other line of an |
| |
image to create one frame, progressive scan |
| |
shows the entire image at once as a single |
| |
frame. This means that while interlace mode |
| |
can show 30 frames per second, progressive |
| |
scan can show 60. The overall picture quality |
| |
increases and still images, text and horizontal |
| |
lines appear sharper. |
