Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs

Disc-related terms

VCD (Video CD)

A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80
minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video
along with quality stereo sound.

MPEG

MPEG is an international standard for video and
audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding
video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround
sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and
MPEG audio.

MP3

MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital
audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.

WMA

Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decod­ing developed by Microsoft Corp.

JPEG

Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed
file format that allows you to save images with no
limit on the number of colors.

PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only)

Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) ver­sion 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with
the system via menus, search functions, or other typi­cal computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures
of high resolution can be played if they are included
in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC
(Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs.

Title (DVD only)

A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc.
For example the main feature could be title 1, a docu­mentary describing how the film was made could be
title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title
is assigned a reference number enabling you to
locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD only)

A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a
film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is
assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate
the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chap­ters may not be recorded.

Scene (VCD)

On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec­tions called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the
menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling
you to locate the scene you want. A scene is com­posed of one or several tracks.

Track

A distinct element of audiovisual information, such as
the picture or sound track for a specific language
(DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.
Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you
to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one
track of video (with multiple angles) and several
tracks of audio.

coaxial cable from the OUT connector on the convert­er to the ANT IN on your DVD+VCR. This cable
hookup permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.
