DVD VIDEO DISC GLOSSARY

dards of digital compression technologies.
The picture data is compressed by 1/40

coded technology in which the volume of
data assigned to the picture is changed
depending on the picture format has also
been adopted. Audio data is stored using

higher quality of sound. Furthermore, mul-
ti −angle and multi −language features will
also help you enjoy the more advanced
technology of DVD video.
