Subtitles
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures
and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorpor-
ating a new video compression technology (MPEG II) 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 structure consisting of two 0.6mm 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 1.2mm 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.
These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into
many sections, each of which is numbered, and specific parts of video
presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.
These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen
which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are recorded on
DVD discs.
PBC (or Playback control)
This is recorded on a SVCD/VCD (2.0). The scenes or information to
be viewed (or listened to) can be selected interactively with the TV
monitor by looking at the menu shown on the TV monitor.
Time number
Track number
This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of a
disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific scene quickly. (It may
not work with some discs.)
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on
Video CDs. They enable specific tracks to be located quickly.
