HD DVD Disc Features
HD DVD video discs are high-density, high-capacity
discs.
There are 2 types of HD DVD disc; one is stan-
dard content disc and the other is advanced con-
tent disc. Standard content disc is pure extension
of DVD Video. Advanced content disc realizes
more interactivity in addition to the extension of
audio and video realized by standard disc.
The HD DVD disc standard has been approved
by the DVD forum.
HD DVD (single layer): Maximum capacity of 15 GB
HD DVD (dual layer): Maximum capacity of 30 GB
A single layer single sided disc (15 GB) has
capacity of about
maximum
8 hours in 1125 line
high definition picture; about
maximum
48 hours
in 525 line standard definition picture (depending
on bitrate of pre-recorded contents).
HD DVD Twin Format Discs have both HD DVD
and DVD layers on one side. HD DVD
Combination DVD Discs have HD DVD material
on one side and standard DVD material on the
other side. Because this type of disc is a technol-
ogy currently in development, such discs may not
operate properly in this player.
Some titles may be played back with black “letter-
box bars” because the title is recorded with bars
by the contents provider.
