DISC-RELATED TERMS

DVD ±R / DVD ±RW

DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for recordable DVD

drives and discs. This format allows information to be recorded onto the

DVD disc only once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for

re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be erased and

re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold 4.38 Gigabytes and double-

sided discs hold twice as much. There are no dual layer single sided

recordable discs.

VCD (VIDEO CD)

A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80 minutes (700 MB

disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video along with quality stereo sound.

MPEG

MPEG is an international standard for video and audio compression.

MPEG-1 is used in encoding video for VCD and provides for

multichannel surround sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS

and MPEG audio.

MP3

MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital audio files that

yields very high near-CD quality.

WMA

Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decoding developed by

Microsoft Corp.

JPEG

Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed file format that allows

you to save images with no limit on the number of colors.

PBC: PLAYBACK CONTROL (VIDEO CD ONLY)

Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) version 2.0 disc

formats. PBC allows you to interact with the system via menus, search

functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still

pictures of high resolution can be played if they are included in the disc.

Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1) operate in the same

way as audio CDs.

TITLE (DVD VIDEO DISCS ONLY)

A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For example the main

feature could be title 1, a documentary describing how the film was

made could be title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title is

assigned a reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

CHAPTER (DVD VIDEO DISCS ONLY)

A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a film or one

interview in a series. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number,

enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc,

chapters may not be recorded.

SCENE (VCD)

On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions, moving pictures

and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes”. Each scene is

displayed in the menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling

you to locate the scene you want. A scene is composed of one or several

tracks.

TRACK

A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as the picture or

sound track for a specific language (DVD), or a musical piece on a

video or audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling

you to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one track of video

(with multiple angles) and several tracks of audio.
