General Information
Digital video discs provide perfect
digital, studio-quality pictures; three
dimensional digital; multi-channel
audio; story sequences screened from
your choice of camera angle; sound
tracks in as many as eight languages;
and up to 32 subtitles if available on
disc.
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2
data compression technology to register
an entire movie on the single 5-inch
disc. DVD's variable bitrate
compression, running up to 9.8 Mbits/
second, captures even the most complex
pictures in their original quality.
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a
horizontal resolution of over 500 lines,
with 720 pixels (picture elements) to
each line. This resolution is more than
double that of VHS, superior to Laser
Disc, and entirely comparable with
digital masters made in recording
studios.
In addition to the DVD-Video discs, you
will be able to play all Video CDs and
Audio CDs (including finalised CD
Recordable and CD Rewritable).
