Bit rate
Value indicating the amount of video
data compressed in a DVD per
second. The unit is Mbps (megabit
per second). 1 Mbps indicates that
the data per second is 1,000,000 bits.
The higher the bit rate, the larger the
amount of data. However, this does
not always mean higher quality
pictures.

Dolby Digital (“5.1”, “AC-3”)
This sound format for movie theaters
is more advanced than Dolby Pro
Logic Surround. In this format, the
rear speakers output stereo sound
with an expanded frequency range
and a subwoofer channel for deep
bass is independently provided. This
format is also called “5.1” because
the subwoofer channel is counted as
0.1 channel (since it functions only
when a deep bass effect is needed).
All six channels in this format are
recorded separately for superior
channel separation. Furthermore,
since all the signals are processed
digitally, less signal degradation
occurs. The name “AC-3” comes
from the fact that it is the third audio
coding method to be developed by
the Dolby Laboratories Licensing
Corporation.

DTS
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Digital Theater
Systems, Inc. This technology
conforms to 5.1-channel surround.
The rear channels are stereo and
there is a discrete subwoofer
channel in this format. DTS provides
5.1 discrete channels of high quality
digital audio. Good channel
separation is realized, because all
channels are recorded discretely and
processed digitally.

DVD
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of
moving pictures even though its
diameter is the same as a CD. The
data capacity of a single-layer and
single-sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga
Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.
Furthermore, the data capacity of a
dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5
GB, a single-layer and double-sided
DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and
double-sided DVD 17 GB. The picture
data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of
the worldwide standards of digital
compression technology. The picture
data is compressed to about 1/40 of
its original size. The DVD also uses
