A writing process of disc information such that the programmes recorded on the DVD-R
and DVD-RW discs can be played back on other players.
Optimises the overall bit rate for recording. Scenes with rapid movement are recorded with
high bit rates, while scenes with slow movement are recorded with low bit rates, thereby
resulting in better picture quality.
An abbreviation of Joint Photographic Experts Group, an international standard for
compressed still image data files. The data of the 3 primary colours (RGB) is compressed
from a ratio of 10:1 to 100:1.
A method of displaying a wide image (16:9) on a TV with aspect ratio of 4:3 in full screen,
by adding a black band at the top and bottom.
A format that digitalises audio signals without compression.
An abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, an international standard for compressed audio

using a menu screen.
Refers to the adding of narration or background music (BGM) to the sound after recording it
with the camera.
For conventional TV broadcast video signals, a picture is presented by displaying the
vertical resolution of 525 scanning lines alternately in halves. This system is known as
interlace. The system that displays all the scanning lines at one time is known as progressive
scan, and this mode enables high image quality playback of DVD Video movie softwares.
A number that restricts DVD Video playback. The world is divided into 6 regions
distinguished by numbers, and playback is not possible if the number of the player and the
disc do not match.
A type of video terminal that connects the unit and the peripheral devices. Achieves high
image quality as the luminance signal and chrominance signal are connected separately.
Reduced-size version of pictures, for making segments of pictures, programmes or scenes
easily recognisable.
A unit for recorded image of images that can be selected using the main image or menu
screen of DVD Videos, etc. Programmes recorded using this unit are also known as titles.
A unit for segments of music, images, etc. in audio CDs, Video CDs, and Super Video CDs.
