DVD-Video (DVD-V)
The standard format used for recording movies on DVD. MPEG-2 is the dominant
video encoding method used in recording movies for its superlative video quality,
although MPEG-1 may also be used. The audio part of the video can be encoded in
formats such as PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS (Digital Theater Sound). DVD-Video
provides standard 4:3 and widescreen 16:9 aspect ratios, up to 9 camera angles,
up to 8 languages, up to 32 subtitle tracks, fully interactive menus, and instant
search of titles, chapters, music tracks, and timecode. DVD-Video discs can be
played on standalone DVD players or on computers equipped with a DVD-ROM
drive.
Incremental Write
A writing mode that sequentially appends data to the disc until the disc is full.
Joliet
A Microsoft extension to the ISO 9660 file system that handles long file names (up
to 64 characters in length, including spaces).
Linear Pulse Code Modulation, Linear PCM (LPCM)
An uncompressed audio format that is similar to CD audio but with higher sampling
frequencies and resolutions. It encodes audio on a DVD with a sampling frequency
of 48 or 96kHz, resolution of 16, 20 or 24 bits per sample, and with up to eight
channels. LPCM’s maximum bit rate is 6.144 Mb/s, which is higher than Dolby
Digital or MPEG-2.
Mount Rainier
A storage format for CD-RW media that is developed by the Mount Rainier Technical
Group. It intends to make the use of CD-RW discs a lot easier by allowing drag-
and-drop file copying. Unlike conventional CD-RW burners, Mount Rainier capable
burners provide background formatting and defect management features.
Music DVD-Video
A DVD burned in this format using Ulead Burn.Now is the same as the regular DVD-
Video disc, except that the DVD is recorded with audio data only (without any video
content). Similarly, recordings are stored as .vob files in the VIDEO_TS folder on
the DVD.
