Angle
Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which
have been simultaneously shot from a number
of different angles (the same scene is shot from
the front, from the left side, from the right side,
etc) With such discs, the ANGLE button can be
used to view the scene from different angles.
Chapter Number
These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title
is subdivided into many sections, each of which is
numbered, and specific parts of video present-
ations can be searched quickly by using these
numbers.
DVD
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which
high-quality pictures and sound have been rec-
orded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a
new video compression technology (MPEG 2) and
high-density recording technology, DVD enables
aesthetically pleasing full-motion video to be
recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a
whole movie can be recorded. ) DVD has a struc-
ture consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs that are
adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc,
the higher the density at which the information can
be recorded, a DVD disc 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 pot-
ential to achieve double-sided play sometime in
the future for even longer duration play.
