DVD Video
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which
high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded
by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video
compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density
recording technology. DVD Video enables esthetically
pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long
periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be
recorded).
DVD Video has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm
thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since the
thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the
information can be recorded, a DVD Video has a
greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc.
Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other,
there is the potential to achieve double-sided play
sometime in the future for even longer duration play.

discs, DVDs, and digital broadcast television, cable,
and satellite systems. It enables the transmission and
storage of up to five full-range audio channels, plus a
low-frequency effects channel(LFE), thus 5.1
channels, in less space than is required for just one
linear PCM-coded channel on a compact disc.

Dolby Surround, and is built into virtually every home
theater audio system. Dolby Pro Logic reconstructs

compression ratio format. It also provides wide
