Definition of Terms

 

 

DVD

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 II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically

 

 

 

 

 

pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a

 

 

 

 

 

whole movie can be recorded).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DVD 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 disc has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm 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.
