Additional Information
DVD-R (page 5)
A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the
same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents
can be recorded only once to a DVD-R,
and will have the same format as a DVD
VIDEO. The DVD-R has two different
modes: VR mode and Video mode.
DVDs created in Video mode have the
same format as a DVD VIDEO, while
discs created in VR (Video Recording)
mode allow the contents to be
programmed or edited.
DVD-RW (page 5)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and
rewritable disc that is the same size as a
DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW has two
different modes: VR mode and Video
mode. DVDs created in Video mode
have the same format as a DVD VIDEO,
while discs created in VR (Video
Recording) mode allow the contents to
be programmed or edited.
DVD+R (page 5)
A DVD+R (read “plus R”) is a
recordable disc that is the same size as a
DVD VIDEO. Contents can be recorded
only once to a DVD+R, and will have the
same format as a DVD VIDEO.
DVD+RW (page 5)
A DVD+RW (read “plus RW”) is a
recordable and rewritable disc.
DVD+RWs use a recording format that
is comparable to the DVD VIDEO
format.
Film-based software, Video-based
software
DVDs can be classified as Film-based or
Video-based software. Film-based
DVDs contain the same images (24
frames per second) that are shown at
movie theatres. Video-based DVDs,
such as television dramas or sitcoms,
display images at 25 frames/50 fields (30
frames/60 fields) per second.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface)
HDMI is an interface that supports both
video and audio on a single digital
connection. The HDMI connection
carries standard to high definition video
signals and multi-channel audio signals
to AV components such as HDMI
equipped TVs, in digital form without
degradation.
The HDMI specification supports HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a copy protection
technology for digital entertainment
contents for HDMI.
Interlace format
Interlace format shows every other line
of an image as a single “field” and is the
standard method for displaying images
on television. The even number field
shows the even numbered lines of an
image, and the odd numbered field
shows the odd numbered lines of an
image.
MPEG-2
One of the video data compression
schemes established by the Moving
Picture Experts Group (MPEG), which is
adopted for DVD VIDEOs and digital
broadcasts worldwide. The scheme
specifies MPEG-2 PS (Program Stream)
for recordable media such as a DVD
VIDEO, and MPEG-2 TS (Transport
Stream) for digital broadcasts and other
communications.
Pop-up menu
An enhanced menu operation available
on BD-ROMs. The pop-up menu
appears when MENU is pressed during
playback, and can be operated while
playback is in progress.
Progressive format
Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an
image (field) to create one frame, the
Progressive format shows the entire
image at once as a single frame. This
means that while the Interlace format can
show 25 or 30 frames (50-60 fields) in
one second, the Progressive format can
show 50-60 frames in one second. The
overall picture quality increases and still
images, text, and horizontal lines appear
sharper.
Title (page 26)
The longest section of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
software, or the entire album in audio
software.
