Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio
data per second in a disc. The higher the bit
rate, the larger the amount of data. When the
bit rate level is high, there is a large amount
of data. However, this does not always mean
that you can get higher quality pictures or
sounds.
LAYER Appears when the DVD
has dual layers
Indicates the approximate point where the
disc is playing.
If it is a dual-layer DVD, the system
indicates which layer is being read ("Layer
0" or "Layer 1").
For details on the layers, see page 76
(DVD).
