media as DVD, digital TV and satellite transmission. Different from the

decoding. Dolby Digital 5.1 is industry standard for coding of DVD movies with
surround sound.
DVD
The DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) was introduced in 1995 and is a storage media with a large
capacity.
While a standard CD can store 650 MB of data, the DVD can store up to 9 GB. Especially
when it comes to video playback, a large storage capacity is important. Beyond its high
capacity, the consumer enjoys high quality video and audio. A DVD can store up to 8
different audio streams, so in best case, the movie can be watched in 8 different languages.
