Dolby Digital Recording
“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record
high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD
discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM
recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for
higher video resolution or extended recording time on
each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording
will play back on all DVD-video players.”
Note: This is true when the players are compatible with
actual recordable DVD discs.
