Dolby Digital Recording

"Dolby _ Digital Recording enables consumers to record high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable

DVD discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM recording, also saves recordable disc space,

allowing for higher video resolution or extended recording time on each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby

Digital Recording will play back on all DVD-Video players."
