Introduction

The objective of this manual is to facilitate the correct preparation of

input components for DVD productions with Sony DADC. Similar

manuals are available for our other products including CD-Audio, CD-

ROM, MiniDisc and PlayStation Disc. These manuals can also be

downloaded from our website at http://www.sonydadc.com.

Compliance with the specifications in this manual will avoid confusion

and reduce the requirements for modifications. Rework may

considerably extend the production, thus making it more expensive.

Therefore, we advise you to provide these specifications to the staff in

charge with the preparation work, in particular external video, sound,

graphics and other premastering studios.

As the final product will depend on the quality of the input components

supplied, the adherence to the manual specifications represents an

essential contribution to the total quality of the product and service that

we provide to you as a customer.

In general, all Sony DADC prices and schedules are valid based on the

assumption that the input components provided by the customer meet

the manual specifications. When components do not meet the outlined

specifications, these are either returned or improved based on the

customerÕs request. Additional expenses and charges apply. Prices for

DVDs and special Services (e.g. carrier, editing, film exposure, film

generation etc.) are provided in our current price list.

Main Features

1.1. Format and Specifications

1. From CD to DVD

The DVD standard defines a disc that maintains the

overall dimensions of the current Compact Disc.

Therefore the backwards compatibility with existing

Audio CDs and CD-ROMs was easier to realise. The

table below demonstrates similarities and

differences of CD and DVD.

DVD, which stands for Digital Versatile Disc, is the

next generation of optical disc storage technology.

It is essentially an optical disc that can hold video as

well as audio and computer data. This new optical

disc can reach a capacity of up to 26 times the

capacity of a CD-ROM and encompasses pre-

recorded read only discs like DVD-Video, DVD-ROM,

DVD-Audio, SACD and recordable formats like

DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and DVD-R/W. For

movie applications, a DVD can store full length

movies in a high-quality digital video with surround

sound in several languages and a wide range of

interactivity as well as subtitles. Almost all DVD

players and DVD-ROM drives are equipped with an

additional laser diode or a special lens for playback

capability of existing Audio CDs and CD-ROMs.

DVD-Video

2. DVD-Video

● Multibranching is another feature of DVD-

Video that simply offers the possibility to

playback one title with different parts of this

title, which can be interactively selected by the

viewer. In addition the multiangle option

allows a scene of a movie title to be viewed in

different angles.

2.1. General

DVD-Video is a new media for the distribution of

home videos. The digital nature of this new media

offers several new features to the consumer.

Amongst those features are:

● Every DVD-Video player implies a region code

corresponding to one of the six regions in the

world where it is sold. This regional coding

optionally enables playback of a DVD-Video title

only in certain regions.

● High video quality based on MPEG2 compression

and the ability to playback both aspect ratios of

4:3 and 16:9.

● A DVD-Video can hold up to 8 different audio

tracks (streams). Each track can be used for a

different language. It can also be utilised for high

quality stereo audio with a resolution of 16 bit

and 48 kHz, or for theatre quality surround

audio, like Dolby Digital AC-3.

● DVD-Video discs can be prepared with a

'Parental Lock' in order to restrict the playback

only by usage of a correct password.

2.2. Input media for DVD-Video

● Up to 32 different streams of subtitles can be

placed on a DVD-Video, used as language

subtitles, as menu highlights or as instructions

for interactive functions.

Sony DADC offers full authoring service for DVD-

Video. For detailed information please refer to our

DVD-Video authoring manual or contact our

Customer Service department.

● Digital copy protection via CSS and analogue

copy protection via Macrovision.

We also accept already authored DVD-Video titles.

As standard input media Sony DADC prefers a DLT

tape inlcuding DDP 2.0

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

DVD-ROM

Through the naming and file structure of UDF the

UDF file system is much more powerful than the file

structure of ISO 9660.

However, the UDF-Bridge combines both the UDF

and ISO 9660 formats, and therefore the file

structure has to meet the ISO-9660 designation

agreement.

3. DVD-ROM

3.1. Data preparation

The first step in formatting is the collection and

preparation of the input materials. You can submit

already formatted data as an image on tape or

leave the formatting of your data to us.

Unformatted data on storage media as well as

backup formats on tape or unformatted data

transmitted via ISDN first have to be converted into

a DVD-ROM compatible format. Please note that

these additional process steps take more time and

are more expensive. In order to arrange the data in

a desired sequence, please provide a detailed listing

of the file and directory structure of the final DVD-

ROM.

ISO 9660:

The ISO 9660 (level 1) file structure is limited to the

characters 'A - Z', '0 - 9' and. '_' (underscore) with

a maximum of 8 characters in length and 3

characters extension and a maximum of 8 directory

levels (including the root directory)

To avoid the restrictions of ISO 9660 level 1 and to

use longer file names Level 2/3 can also be used.

These levels restrict filenames to 30 characters and

directory names to 31 characters.

If you submit a tape, please inform us whether

there is a DVD image or a backup format on this

tape. According to chapter 3.3. ( image on tape )

we are able to achieve shorter cycle times for your

orders and limit premastering costs as long as there

is an already formatted DVD image on tape.

Joliet extension:

To meet the demand for Windows 95 file names

there was a extension designed called Joliet

format. This file system allows longer file and

directory names than ISO 9660 level 1 as well as

level 2/3, where file or directory Identifiers may be

up to 64 characters.

When sending hard disks or exchange discs please

communicate the number of files and the data

quantity. Pack your data carrier carefully to avoid

damage during transportation. Moreover, we ask

you to mark your input carriers. Please be sure to

use adequate fibre pens which do not damage the

surface of the disc, particularly with CD-R.

3.3. Input media

DVD-ROM images on tape

3.2. Formatting

Sony DADC will accept ANSI labelled DVD-ROM

images either on DLT or SDX tape. We strongly

recommend that any tape compression is turned

off. The DVD Data Sector size can be 2048, 2054 or

2064 Bytes/Sector.

The DDP ( level 2.00 ) is either to be placed at the

front of the tape followed by the DVD Leadin-data

and the DVD Image or on a separate Floppy Disk.

The image is subjected to a logical incoming UDF-

check and can be used for direct mastering.

Sony DADC formats data according to the UDF-

Bridge ( UDF + ISO 9660 ) standard:

UDF-Bridge Format:

Is a new logical format for volume and file

structure on DVD-ROM discs to support the

interchange of information between a computer

system and dedicated DVD drives or players.

UDF-Bridge stands also for a combination between

the Universal Disc Format ( ISO/IEC 13346 ) and the

ISO 9660 standard.

DVD-ROM

The data of a 650 Mbyte CD-ROM are then copied

in approx. 47 minutes to our servers. With previous

compression of your data the transmission is still

reduced further.

DVD-ROM, DVD-R (Recordable),

DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, DVD-R/W

An already replicated DVD-ROM is a preferred

input media because it can be used immediately for

direct mastering.

In order to determine the input media, please mark

your input carriers with a catalogue number.

After receiving

compressed image we

automatically carry out a decompression and a

checksum control. The production of a glass master

is then carried out on-line. Upon request the system

transmits a short e-mail to the sender and

acknowledges errorfree transmission.

CD-R (Recordable), CD-ROM

If you are interested in this kind of transmission for

your DVD-ROM data and order components please

get in touch with us. We will be pleased to assist

you in establishing an electronic connection with

us.

If you wish to put the data of a series of CD-ROM’s

on one single DVD-ROM or if you wish to transfer

data from a CD-ROM to a DVD-ROM we have to

generate a new DVD-ROM image.

In order to arrange the data in a desired sequence,

please provide a detailed listing of the file and

directory structure of the final DVD-ROM.

Apple Macintosh / DOS SCSI hard

disk

Please only send us SCSI hard disks with a

description of the file and directory structure of the

final DVD-ROM.

Electronic data transmission via ISDN

For shortest transport times of components to Sony

DADC, we offer a data link via an ISDN primary rate

interface directly to our servers. This data offers a

range up to 2 Mbit / second.

Label Printing

4. LABEL PRINTING

4.2. Printing Areas

The following pages contain important

specifications on the DVD printing and the

film material required.

On the following pages the three possible printing

areas on a DVD label are illustrated (specifications

F, G and H).

Please mind that there may be colour deviations

between the print on the aluminium coated part

and the non-aluminium coated interior parts.

Therefore, we advise to preprint an entire white

base to minimise colour deviations with specifica-

tions F, G, H.

Please transmit this information to your

graphics artist or designer.

4.1. Printing Processes

Sony DADC uses screen printing processes for

printing DVDs as well as offset printing processes.

4.3. Label Film Dimensions

Please ensure that your label films comply with the

required specifications F to H (see page 10 to 13).

Any necessary label film corrections are charged

according to our price list.

The following types of print can be processed:

● line prints with up to 4 colours (3 colours for

DVD-10)

● half-tone prints

● duplex and triplex prints

● Four-colour prints

(picture disc: offset/screen printing)

For particular requirements with respect to printing

quality in four-colour print, we offer the High

Definition Picture Disc. This is to be recommended

particularly

with

applications

including

photographs, faces, landscapes or designs which

are similar to photographs.

A specific offset process is used which facilitates a

resolution that is about double that of the screen

print.

Disc Serialisation

5. DISC SERIALISATION

● It is not possible to underline characters

(e.g. 123456).

Sony DADC Austria offers the possibility to apply an

individual code number for every disc of the DVD-

ROM production, e.g. for identification purposes.

Your preselected code number is printed on the disc

with the ink-jet process.

● A series or code number that changes can

only be printed once on the same disc.

● Due to limitation of space on the disc

surface the series or code number can be

applied in one line only.

The code number is printed approximately 5 mm

from the centre hole of a disc in arc form.

The number will be printed on the read-out side

and can only be seen from the read-out side.

(see drawing below)

● The selected numbers of a series or code

number can be increased or reduced by

any constant value. Other characters such

as letters or symbols remain unchanged.

Please note that this service may result in slightly

longer turn around time of your DVD-ROM order.

● A maximum of 9 characters can be

increased or reduced.

Example:

BCDE123456789

The most important data of an ink-jet printer

are indicated for disc numbering:

ABC-123456789gh0m

123456789abcdef

00000-123456789-0000000

● Print image: 6 x 9 dot matrix, 3 mm high,

5 characters per 10 mm.

The numbers 123456789 are the

characters that can be changed.

● The series or code number may consist of

a maximum of 28 characters using

numbers, letters and symbols. Of the

maximum 28 characters 9 characters can

be changed automatically (e.g. increasing

order of numbers).

● It is not possible to write in ”bold” or

”italics”.

Special requests (e.g. printing random

numbers which can be supplied on a DOS

compatible 3.5” floppy disk) should be

addressed directly to our Customer Service

department.

● Admissible characters of the series or

code number are: letters ”a-z”, ”A-Z”,

numbers ”0-9” and symbols (selected

characters of the ISO 8859-1 set of

characters) in case you want to use

symbols please get in touch with our

Customer Service.

Packaging

6. PACKAGING

●

Please arrange films in such a way that the

booklet is closed at the left. With special

products such as leporello, posters, etc.

please enclose a folding sample.

As part of our full service philosophy, we can

provide printwork and any special packaging

procurement for you. Due to high yearly volumes

we order with our qualified printwork suppliers, we

can offer competitive prices. If you wish to utilise

this service we request that your graphic studio

provides components according to chapter 6.2.,

with chapter 6.3. being valid for the printwork

carried out by us.

●

Films must have a bleed of 3 mm. The

cutting marks are arranged outside of the

bleed.

To avoid mismatches, please supply a

compulsory match print with all films.

However, please note that there may still

be slight colour deviations between proof

and printwork.

Sony DADC can also process text inserts and similar

printwork provided by you. In such cases please

ensure that these comply with chapters 6.3. to 6.5.

●

The films should not be damaged and

must be packed in a roll container or

carton to prevent folding.

6.1. Printing Process

Generally, the printwork is manufactured by

qualified printers in four-colour offset print and the

use of additional special colours and varnishing is

possible.

If you request a colour match between

printwork and DVD label print, special

colours have to be specified in the same

colour system.

●

To protect your product against piracy and

to clearly identify the holder of the rights,

we ask you to indicate the name and

address of the music company on the

label film or on the printwork.

6.2. Film Specifications for

the Production of Printwork

and Stickers

●

Send only smooth offset films (positive,

right reading, emulsion side down)

When producing your films please mind

that colour differences between the

printwork and the DVDs may occur, since

with the latter a base of polycarbonate with

reflecting aluminium coating is printed on

and therefore colour differences compared

to printing on paper may result.

Optimum screening for printwork films:

70 l/cm

All printwork must have a catalogue

number.

●

To provide (as much as possible) a compli-

ance of the colours of printwork (e.g.

booklet) with the DVD label print, we advise

to preprint a full white base on the DVD.

●

Page number on all films.

Please do not indicate origin details except

for ”Made in EU”. Other data with regard

to origin are not admissible and will be

removed.

Non-compliance with the specifications and

any additional expenses caused shall be

charged separately.

●

Please mark each film with the respective

colour.
