Introduction
English
MPEG
– a type of data compression used for audio or video storage on disc.
MP3
– MPEG-1 Layer III audio. This is a compressed audio format that allows you to record
many hours of music on a single CD.

– An acronym for National Television System Committee. The organization that devel-
oped both the American Black & White and Color television system.
P
AL
– An acronym for Phase Alternate Line. This is one of several composite video systems.
The PAL format is used extensively in Western Europe.
PCM
– An uncompressed, digitally coded representation of an analog signal. This is the form
of the digital audio signal used for both CD and laserdisc. It is a serial data stream that is
coded for transmission or recording. PCM is also used for many other types of serial data
communications.
S-video
– A video interface standard that carries separate luminance and chrominance
signals, usually on a four-pin mini-DIN connector. Also called Y/C. The quality of S-video is
significantly better than composite video since it does not require a comb filter to separate
the signals. Most high-end televisions have S-video inputs.
Title
– numbered elements of the DVD contents, which may include more than the movie
alone.
T
rack
– Individual selections recorded on an audio tape or disc.
