DATA DVD or a DivX video on a DATA CD/
DATA DVD (“File” is an exclusive definition
for this player). A single file consist of a
single image or video.
Interlace format
Interlace format shows every other line of an
image as a single “field” and is the standard
method for displaying images on television.
The even number field shows the even
numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered
lines of an image.
Progressive format (pages 27 and 56)
Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an
image (field) to create one frame, the
Progressive format shows the entire image at
once as a single frame. This means that
while the Interlace format can show 25 or 30
frames (50 – 60 fields) in one second, the
Progressive format can show 50 – 60 frames
in one second. The overall picture quality
increases and still images, text, and
horizontal lines appear sharper. These
DVD-VCRs are compatible with the 525 or
625 progressive format.
