Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to
normal. This is called decoding.
DivX
DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX
media files contain highly compressed video with high visual
quality that maintains a relatively small file size.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these
signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of
audio information can be recorded on one disc using this
method.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around
the world. There is good separation between the channels, so
realistic sound effects are possible.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of
sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and
the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually,
film is recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are
filmed at, while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving
picture.
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows
these fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still
is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear
blurred, but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a
frame still so picture quality is lower.
Interlace and progressive output
The PAL video signal standard has 576 interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning, called 576p, uses twice the
number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are called
480i and 480p respectively.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution
video recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adapted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I:
Intra coded picture.
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.
P:
Predictive coded picture.
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B:
Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture.
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
MPEG4
A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network,
that allows highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital
encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken
per second, so larger numbers mean faithful reproduction of the
original sound.
