Digital video technology created by
DivX, Inc. Videos encoded with DivX
technology are among the highest quality

Dolby Digital
This sound format for movie theaters is
more advanced than Dolby Surround
Pro Logic. In this format, the surround
speakers output stereo sound with
an expanded frequency range and a
subwoofer channel for deep bass is
independently provided. This format is
also called "5.1" because the subwoofer
channel is counted as 0.1 channel (since
it functions only when a deep bass effect
is needed). All six channels in this format
are recorded separately to realize superior
channel separation. Furthermore, since
all the signals are processed digitally, less
signal degradation occurs.
