DVD video discs: Digital versatile Disc that
holds video. DVD video discs have adopted
"MPEG2", one of the world standards of digi-
tal compression 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 pic-
ture is changed depending on the picture for-
mat has also been adopted. Audio data is
stored using PCM and Dolby digital, which
enables higher quality of sound. Further-
more, multi-angle and multi-language fea-
tures will also help you enjoy the more ad-
vanced technology of DVD video.
