audio to PCM format for wider compatibility
with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See

DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1

more PCM audio to be stored on a DVD-Audio
disc than would otherwise be possible.
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)

Regions (DVD-Video only)
These associate discs and players with
particular areas of the world. This system will
only play discs that have compatible region

discs are compatible with more than one
region (or all regions).
Sampling frequency
The rate at which sound is measured to be
turned into digital audio data. The higher the
rate, the better the sound quality, but the
more digital information is generated.
Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency
of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples
(measurements) per second. See also
