2-1 Introduction to DVD
2-1-1 The Definition of DVD
DVD is the next generation medium and is the acronym of the Digital Versatile Disc or thr Digital Video Disc, which maximizes the saving density of the disk surface using the MPEG-2 compression technology to enable the storage of 17G bytes of data on the same size CD. 1) 7 times the storage capacity of the conventional CD Minimized the track pitch and pit size to 1/2 of conventional CD. Uses red laser with short-wavelenght of 650nm (635nm). DVD Vs.

2-2-3 Detailed Feature
DVD-Video Feature 1 When Developing the DVD Software, various addition and modification is possible.

As the storage capacity increases, the DVD-Video separates the main data and the additional data such as the Multi-Function into different data areas, enabling the control of time-data ratio to provide the format that enables the flexible Software development 1 Movie (3.5Mbps) + Subtitle (1 Language) + Surround Audio (1 Language) = 160min storage (4.673Gbytes) 1 Movie (3.5Mbps) + Subtitle (4 Language) + Surround Audio (4 Language) = 160min storage (4.680Gbytes) 1 Music Video (4Mbps) + 2ch High quality Audio (96kHz/24bit) = 72min storage (4.648Gbytes)

DVD-Video Feature 2

Application of the MPEG-2 compression technology.

DVD-Video uses the variable compresion technology, the MPEG-2 to compress the moving image optimally, minimizing the Data loss to Provide a clear, natural screen while increasing the storage time.

DVD-Video

MPEG-2 (Variable compression : Max. 1/40) Field unit compression. Compression rate change according to the amount of Data. Differentiates the still image anf the moving image compression rete, reducing Data loss and enables efficient compression. MPEG-1 (Fixed compression : Max. 1/140) Frame unit compression. Compresses all data using the same ratio. - Fast movements are jagged, and unnatural

DVD-Video Feature 3

High quality surround audio.

DVD-Video can store the audio using the 5.1ch Dolby Digital compression or the advanced Liner PCM method, providing the better-than-CD quality and theater like audio quality. Dolby Digital (AC-3) Unlike the traditional Dolby pro-Logic method, the Dolby Digital method separates all 5 main channels (Front L/R, Center, Surround (Rear) L/R)and the Sub woofer to provide live surround audio. Using the Down Mix method, the conventional Dolby Pro-Logic and Stereo are all compatible. Each separated channels are played back at CD quality sound. (Frequency band: 20Hz ~ 20KHz) Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) Provides the high quality Digital sound without the audio data compression. Various Digital Recordings are possible as shown in the table to the right.
