General Information
• Digital video discs provide perfect
digital, studio-quality pictures; three
dimensional digital; multi-channel
audio; story sequences screened
from your choice of camera angle;
sound tracks in as many as eight
languages; and up to 32 subtitles if
available on disc.
• DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art
MPEG2 data compression
technology to register an entire
movie on the single 5-inch disc.
DVD's variable bitrate compression,
running up to 9.8 Mbits/second,
captures even the most complex
pictures in their original quality.
• The crystal-clear digital pictures have
a horizontal resolution of over 500
lines, with 720 pixels (picture
elements) to each line. This
resolution is more than double that
of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and
entirely comparable with digital
masters made in recording studios.
• In addition to the DVD-Video discs,
you will be able to play all Video CDs
and Audio CDs (including finalized
CD Recordable and CD Rewritable).
