Angle
Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have
been simultaneously shot from a number of different
angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from
the left side, from the right side, etc.). With such discs,
the ANGLE button can be used to view the scene from
different angles.
Chapter number
These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title
is sub-divided into many sections, each of which is
numbered, and specifi c parts of video presentations
can be searched quickly using these numbers.
DVD
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which
high quality pictures and sound have been obtained
by means of digital signals. Incorporation 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, 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.
