DVD video disc information


DVD video discs
A DVD video disc is a Digital Versatile Disc that holds video. DVD video
discs have adopted "MPEG2", one of the world standards of digital com-
pression technologies. The picture data is compressed by 1/40 on average
and stored. Variable rate encoded technology in which the volume of data
assigned to the picture is changed depending on the picture format has also
been adopted. Audio data is stored using PCM and Dolby Digital, which
enables higher quality of sound. Furthermore, multi-angle and multi-lan-
guage features will also help you enjoy the more advanced technology of
DVD video.
