sound.

separation of all channels is ensured by
storing the channels on a disc and digitally
processing them.
DVD disk
The disc can store up to 8 hours of images
even though the diameter of the disc is
the same as that of a regular CD. The data
capacity of a single-layer single-sided DVD
is 4.7 GB (Gigabytes), which is 7 times the
capacity of a CD. The data capacity of a
double-layer single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a
single-layer double-sided DVD
The drive is 9.4 GB and the capacity of a
double-layer double-sided DVD is 17 GB.
Image data uses MPEG format
2, one of the world’s most common digital
data compression technology standards. The
image data is compressed approximately
1:40 to its original size. The DVD also utilizes
a different level of encoding technology that
changes the character of the data according
to the current state of the reproduced image.
Audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital format
and PCM, allowing you to enjoy the sound
