DVD-Video (DVD-V)
The standard format used for recording movies on DVD. MPEG-2 is the dominant video
encoding method used in recording movies for its superlative video quality, although
MPEG-1 may also be used. The audio part of the video can be encoded in formats such
as PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS (Digital Theater Sound). DVD-Video provides standard 4:3
and widescreen 16:9 aspect ratios, up to 9 camera angles, up to 8 languages, up to 32
subtitle tracks, fully interactive menus, and instant search of titles, chapters, music
tracks, and timecode. DVD-Video discs can be played on standalone DVD players or on
computers equipped with a DVD-ROM drive.

file copying. Unlike conventional CD-RW burners, Mount Rainier capable burners provide
background formatting and defect management features.
