15. Glossary / Key Word Index

What are DVDs, VCDs and S-VCDs?

DVDs

DVD is short for "Digital Versatile Disc". DVDs are used to store audio and video data; they exist in the sizes 8 cm and 12 cm (diameter). With a storage capacity many times greater than that of CD-Rs/CD-RWs, DVDs offer up to eight hours of playback time for the audio and video data they contain.

VCDs/S-VCDs

With "Video CD" (VCD) and "Super Video CD" (S-VCD) two compression processes, thus space saving, are designated for storage of films on CDs. VCDs and S-VCDs exist in the sizes 8 cm and 12 cm (diameter). Their storage capacity is lower than that of DVDs. Therefore they offer only a playback duration, for the Audio and Video stored on them, of 20 minutes (8 cm format) and/or 74 minutes (12 cm format).

VCDs exist in two versions:

•Only audio and video data can be played back on version 1.1 VCDs/S-VCDs.

•PBC (Playback control) functions are available on version 2.0 VCDs/S-VCDs. In addition, paused images can be displayed in high resolution.

Playback Control (PBC)

VCDs/S-VCDs of version 2.0 have Playback Control ("PBC"). This means that a root menu is available on the VCD/S-VCD, with which various features of the VCD/SVCD can be accessed.

What are titles and chapters?

Titles are the largest units of video and audio data on DVDs; with many DVDs the (Main) film has the title number 01.

For bonus material (i.e. film trailers, background information etc.), that is available on many DVDs, current additional title numbers can be used.

Chapters are the next smaller unit of video and audio data beneath titles. If the title or titles on a DVD/VCD/S-VCD are subdivided into chapters, they are assigned numbers that can be entered to select the chapters directly.

Please note that not on all DVDs …

•are the title or titles (numbered) subdivided into chapters

•Are chapters also indicated as "scenes" (i.e. in the DVD's main menu)
