Progressive Scan Video
Also called
PureCinema
Video on a DVD disc may be videotaped material (originally shot on video) or film footage (originally shot on film stock). Video source has a frame rate of 30 frames/second, compared to film with a frame rate of 24 frames/second. This recorder converts film material to 60 frames/second (in progressive scan mode). PureCinema adjusts the picture quality comparable to a cinema screen. To check a sequence for origination (videotape or film), display the transfer rate. If a pound sign (#) appears above the transfer rate data then the segment is from a film source.
Regions (DVD only)
Regions associate discs and players/recorders with a particular area of the world. This unit only plays discs with compatible region codes. The recorder’s region code is stamped on the back panel close to the serial number. Some discs are compatible with more than one region.
Sampling Frequency
Sampling frequency refers to the rate at which sound is measured when being turned in to digital audio data. Higher rates equal better sound quality. However, more digital information generates with the higher rates. Standard CD Audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which translates to 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital Audio.
Title (DVD only)
A title is a collection of chapters on a DVD disc. See also Chapter.
Track
Audio CDs and Video CDs use tracks to divide content on a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter.
