Definition Of Terms
DVD Video
File (MP3 disc)
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-
quality pictures and sound have been recorded by means
of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression
technology (MPEG-2) and high-density recording
technology. DVD Video enables esthetically pleasing full-
motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for
instance, a whole movie can be recorded).
Each material (song) is recorded on a file.
Files may be grouped into a folder by artist, album, category,
etc.
• DVD Video structure
Title 1
Title 2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3
Chapter 1 Chapter 2
DVD Video has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin
discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the
disc, the higher the density at which the information can be
recorded, a DVD Video has a greater capacity than a single
1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to
each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided
play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.
• CD structure
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
• MP3 disc structure
On an MP3 disc, a folder can be a member of another folder,
creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a
personal computer, you may easily understand the
hierarchical file/folder construction.
MPEG
MPEG stands for Moving Picture Expert Group. It is
regarded as an international standard for compressing and
restoring digital video and audio signal. “MPEG” standards
include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3
are based on MPEG-1, while DVD Video is based on
MPEG-2.

MP3
Aspect ratio (DVD Video)
MP3 is an audio data reduction format, which stands for
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data
reduction of about 1:10.
The aspect ratio is the ratio between the vertical and
horizontal size of the picture displayed on a TV screen. The
aspect ratio of normal TV screen is 4:3 while that of the
wide-screen TV and HDTV screen is 16:9.
Title, Title number (DVD Video)
The title is the largest unit of the video/audio recording in
DVD Videos. Usually, the title corresponds to a movie of
video software or an album (or a piece) of music software.
Title numbers are sequential numbers assigned to titles.
Subtitle (DVD Video)
Some DVD Videos contain the recording of more than one
subtitle languages. With these discs, this unit can select one
of the subtitle languages as desired during playback.
Chapter, Chapter number (DVD Video)
Chapters are divisions, which are smaller than the titles, of
the contents recorded on DVD Videos. Every title is
composed of more than one chapter. Chapter numbers are
the sequential numbers assigned to the chapters in a DVD
Video.
Angle (DVD Video)
Some DVD Videos contains scenes which have shot
simultaneously from multiple camera angles. With these
discs, the same scene can be viewed from each of these
different angles.
Interlaced scan
Track number (CD)
In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the
screen in two halves. The interlaced scanning system places
lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the
first half of the picture.
Track numbers are used to designate the various sections of
a disc.
Folder (MP3 disc)
Folder is the largest unit of the contents recorded on MP3
discs.
41
Progressive scan
Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a
picture at one time, as a single frame.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital provides multichannel surround sound in
cinemas from 35 mm film and in the home from laser discs,
DVDs, and digital broadcast television, cable, and satellite
systems. It enables the transmission and storage of up to
five full-range audio channels, plus a low-frequency effects
channel(LFE), thus 5.1 channels, in less space than is
required for just one linear PCM-coded channel on a
compact disc.
Composite video
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer
video products that contains all luminance, color, and
synchronization information.
Dolby Pro Logic
S-video
Dolby Pro Logic decodes program material encoded in
Dolby Surround, and is built into virtually every home
theater audio system. Dolby Pro Logic reconstructs the
original four channels - left, center, right, and surround -
that were encoded onto the program material’s stereo
soundtracks.
A video signal which improves picture quality over the
standard composite video signal.
Component video
Video signals with three channels of separate information
that makes up the picture. There are some types of
component video, such as Y/CB(Pb)/CR(Pr) and R/G/B.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
“Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are
trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
Bitstream
The digital signal form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
DTS is a newly-developed surround system which can
handle more amount of data than Dolby Digital, providing
better audio quality. Though the number of audio channels
is 5.1 which is same as Dolby Digital, discs bearing the
Linear PCM
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation. Linear PCM is the
usual digital method without compression, used for audio
playback of audio CDs, DVD Videos, etc.
“
”provides fat sound and better signal-to-noise ratio,
thanks to the lower audio compression ratio format. It
also provides wide dynamic range and better separation,
resulting in magnificent sound.
