Definition Of Terms

DVD Video

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high- quality pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG-2) and high-density recording technology. DVD Video enables esthetically pleasing full- motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded).

DVD Video has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD Video has a greater capacity than a single

1.2mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.

MPEG
