DVD-VIDEO

General Information

Digital video discs provide perfect digital, studio-quality pictures; three dimensional digital; multi-channel audio; story sequences screened from your choice of camera angle; sound tracks in as many as eight languages; and up to 32 subtitles if available on disc.

DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on the single 5-inch disc. DVD's variable bitrate compression, running up to 9.8 Mbits/ second, captures even the most complex pictures in their original quality.

The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line. This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.

In addition to the DVD-Video discs, you will be able to play all Video CDs and Audio CDs (including finalised CD Recordable and CD Rewritable).
