102 gb album section of a music or picture piece on a data cd containing mp3 audio tracks or jpeg image files. chapter subdivision of a title on a dvd video. a title is composed of several chapters. divx ? digital video technology created by divxnetworks, inc. videos encoded with divx technology are among the highest quality with a relatively small file size. dolby digital this sound format for movie theaters is more advanced than dolby pro logic surround. 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. futhermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs. dolby pro logic ii dolby pro logic ii creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. this is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. movie mode the movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all the programmes encoded in dolby surround. the result is enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound. music mode the music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. dolby surround pro logic as one method of decoding dolby surround, dolby surround pro logic produces four channels from two-channel sound. compared with the former dolby surround system, dolby surround pro logic repr oduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. to take full advantages of dolby surround pro logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker. the surround speakers output monaural sound. dts digital audio compression technology that the digital theater systems, inc. developed. this technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. the rear channel is stereo and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this format. dts provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. the good channel separation is realized because the all channel data is recorded discrete and processed in digital. glossary
additional information 103 gb dvd video a disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a audio cd. the data capacity of a single-layer and single- sided dvd video, at 4.7 gb (giga byte), is 7 times that of a audio cd. furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided dvd video is 8.5 gb, a single-layer and double-sided dvd video 9.4 gb, and a dual- layer and double-sided dvd video 17 gb. the picture data uses th e mpeg 2 format, one of the worldwide standards for digital compression technology. the picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. the dvd video also uses variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. the audio data is recorded in dolby digital as well as in pcm, allowing you to enjoy more realistic audio presence. furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and parental control functions are provided with the dvd video. 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. dvd+rw a dvd+rw (plus rw) is a recordable and rewritable disc. dvd+rws use a recording format that is comparable to the dvd video format. file a jpeg image file recorded on a data cd or a divx video file on a data cd/data dvd. (?file? is an exclusive de finiton for this system.) a single file consists of a single image or movie. film based software, video based software dvd videos can be classified as film based or video based software. film based dvd videos contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theaters. video based dvd videos, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second. index (audio cd) / video index (video cd) a number that divides a track into sections to easily locate the point you want on a video cd on an audio cd. depending on the disc, no indexes may be recorded. interlace format (interlaced scanning) the interlace format is the ntsc standard method for displaying tv images at 30 frames per second. each frame is scanned twice- alternately between the even numbered scanning lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at 60 times per second. menu playback playback using the menu screens recorded on video cds with pbc functions. you can enjoy simple interactive software using the menu palyback function. multi-angle function various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a scene are recorded on some dvd videos. continued
104 gb multilingual function several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some dvd videos. multi session this is a recording method that enables adding of data using the track-at-once method. conventional cds begin at a cd control area called the lead-in and end at an area called lead-out. a multi session disc is a disc having multiple sessions, with each segment from lead-in to lead-out regarded as a single session. parental control a function of the dvd video to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. the limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on. playback control (pbc) signals encoded on video cds (version 2.0) to control playback. by using menu screens recorded on video cds with pbc functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, programs with search functions, and so on. this system conforms to version 1.1 and version 2.0 of video cd standards. you can enjoy two kinds of playback depending on the disc type. video cds without pbc functions (version. 1.1 discs) enjoy video playback (moving pictures) as well as music. video cds with pbc functions (version. 2.0 discs) play back interactive software using menu screens displayed on the tv screen (pbc playback), in addition to the video playback function of version 1. 1 discs. moreover, you can play high-resolution still pictures, if they are included on the disc. progressive format (sequential scanning) compared to the interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. this means that while the interface format can show 25/30 frames (50/60 fields) in one second, the progressive format can show 50/60 frames in one second. the overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. this system is compatible with 525/625 progressive format. region code this system is used to protect copyrights. a region code is allocated on each dvd system or dvd video according to the sales region. each region code is shown on the unit as well as on the disc packaging. the system can play back the discs that match its region code. the system can also play back discs with the ? ? mark. even when the region code is not shown on the dvd video, the region limit may still be activated. scene on a video cd with pbc functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called ?scenes?. each scene is assigned a secne number enabling you to locate the scene you want. title the longest section of a picture or a music piece on a dvd video; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a music piece on audio software. each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want. all all
