DVD, 17 GB. The MPEG 2 format was adopted for
efficient video data compression. It is a variable rate
technology that encodes the data to according to the
status of the video for reproducing high-quality images.
Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format
such as Dolby Digital, allowing for a realistic audio
presence.
DVD+/-R (pages 9, 45)
A DVD+/-R is a recordable, write-once DVD. Since
contents can be recorded and cannot be overwritten,
