DivX
Digital video technology created by DivX, Inc.
Videos encoded with DivX technology are among
the highest quality with a relatively small file size.
Dolby Digital
Digital audio compression technology developed by
Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to
5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is
stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1
discrete channels of high quality digital audio found
in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good
channel separation is realized because all of the
channel data are recorded discretely and little
deterioration is realized because all channel data
processing is digital.
DVD
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving
pictures even though its diameter is the same as a
CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided
DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of
a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and
single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and
double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and
double-sided DVD is 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the
worldwide standards of digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed to about
1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD also
uses a variable rate coding technology that changes
the data to be allocated according to the status of the
picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-
channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you
to enjoy a more real audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the
multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control
functions are provided with the DVD.
DVD-RW
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that
is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW
has two different modes: VR mode and video mode.
DVD-RWs created in video mode have the same
format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR
(Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be
programmed or edited.
