Language code chart for DVD
Language (code), input codeLanguage (code), input codeLanguage (code), input code
AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard used with MPEG 2 and MPEG 4.
Aspect ratio
This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen.
A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Wide screen displays have an aspect ratio of
16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional
presence and atmosphere.
Bit rate
This expresses data volume per second, or bps
(bits per second) units. The higher the rate,
the more information is available to reproduce
the sound. Using the same encoding method
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better
the sound.
Chapter
DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters
which are numbered in the same way as the
chapters of a book. With DVD video discs featuring chapters, you can quickly find a desired
scene with chapter search.
DivX
DivX is a popular media technology created by
DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that
maintains a relatively small file size. DivX files
can also include advanced media features like
menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.
Many DivX media files are available for download online, and you can create your own
using your personal content and easy-to-use
tools from DivX.com.
DivX Certified
DivX Certified products are officially tested by
the creators of DivX and guaranteed to play all
versions of DivX video, including DivX 6.
DVD-VR
DVD-VR (Video Recording) format enables you
to edit directly to the DVD video disc. DVD-VR
formats allow you to add new video, change
menus, add chapters, split clip, remove video
segments and move.
ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in an MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artist’s name, the album title, the music genre,
the year of production, comments and other
data. The contents can be freely edited using
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.
Although the tags are restricted as to the number of characters, the information can be
viewed when the track is played back.
ISO9660 format
This is the international standard for the format logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the
following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name consists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English
capital letters and half-byte numerals and the
“_” sign, with a file-extension of three characters).
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark “.” and a file extension). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
File names can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 characters.
Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code
modulation
This stands for linear pulse code modulation,
which is the signal recording system used for
music CDs and DVDs. Generally, DVDs are recorded with higher sampling frequency and
bit rate than CDs. Therefore, DVDs can provide
higher sound quality.

m3u
Playlists created using the “WINAMP” software have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an
audio compression standard set by a working
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress
audio data to about 1/10th the level of a conventional disc.
MPEG
This stands for Moving Pictures Experts
Group, and is an international video image
compression standard. Some DVDs feature digital audio compressed and recorded using
this system.
Multi-angle
With regular TV programs, although multiple
cameras are used to simultaneously shoot
scenes, only images from one camera at a
time are transmitted to your TV. Some DVDs
feature scenes shot from multiple angles, letting you choose your viewing angle as desired.
Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog)
Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multiple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languages
can be recorded on a single disc, letting you
choose as desired.
Multi-session
Multi-session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later.
When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or
CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is
treated as a single unit or session. Multi-session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions on one disc.
Multi-subtitle
Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be recorded on a single DVD, letting you choose as
desired.
Optical digital output/input
By transmitting and receiving audio signals in
a digital signal format, the chance of sonic
quality deteriorating in the course of transmission is minimized. An optical digital output/
input is designed to transmit and receive digital signals optically.
Packet write
This is a general term for a method of writing
on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file,
just as is done with files on floppy or hard
discs.
Parental lock
Some DVD video discs with violent or adult-oriented scenes feature parental lock which prevents children from viewing such scenes. With
this kind of disc, if you set the unit’s parental
lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for
children will be disabled, or these scenes will
be skipped.
Playback control (PBC)
This is a playback control signal recorded on
Video CDs (Version 2.0). Using menu displays
provided by Video CDs with PBC lets you enjoy
playback of simple interactive software and
software with search functions. You can also
enjoy viewing high- and standard-resolution
still images.
Region number
DVD players and DVD discs feature region
numbers indicating the area in which they
were purchased. Playback of a DVD is not possible unless it features the same region number as the DVD player. This unit’s region
number is displayed on the bottom of the unit.
Title
DVD video discs have high data capacity, enabling recording of multiple movies on a single disc. If, for example, one disc contains
three separate movies, they are divided into
title 1, title 2 and title 3. This lets you enjoy the
convenience of title search and other functions.

VBR
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally
speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more
widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit
rate according to the needs of audio compression, it is possible to achieve compressionpriority sound quality.
WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media™ Audio
and refers to an audio compression technology that is developed by Microsoft
Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by
using Windows Media Player version 7 or
later.
