What is MP3?
MP3 is short for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and MPEG is an acronym for Moving Pictures Experts
Group. MP3 is a file format with compression ratio of 1:12 (128 Kbps*) That is, you can use MP3
format to record about 12 times the usual amount of data on a regular CD.
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) offers fantastic audio and video, thanks to Dolby Digital
surround sound and MPEG-2 video compression technology. Now you can enjoy these
realistic effects in the home, as if you were in a movie theater or concert hall.
