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.
These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is sub-divided into many sections, each of which is numbered,and specific
parts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high quality pictures and sound have been obtained by means of digital
signals. Incorporation a new video compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables
esthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance ,a whole movie can be recorded)..
DVD 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 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 potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in the future for even
longer duration play.
This is recorded on a Video CD (version 2.0). The scenes or information to be viewed (or listened to) can be selected
interactivelywith the TV monitor by looking at the menu shown on the TV monitor.

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as title 1,
title 2, etc.
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recordedon Video Cds and CDs. They enable specific tracks to be
located quickly.
