DVD
A
high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and
sound have
been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new
video
compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technol
ogy,
DVD enables aesthetically pleas ing full-motion video to be recorded
over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be re cord ed).
A
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
in
formation can be recorded,
two 0.6 mm
disc
s
ha
ve
a greater capacity than
a single
1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other,
double-sided play
is not only possible
for
longer duration play, but even
commonplace
.
