8 Appendix - Technical Terms

DivX

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is based on the new MPEG-4 compression
standard for video. W hen you install a video codec on your system it bas ically works as an add- on to your
system with instructions how to compress /decompress video in t hat video format. Onc e you've installed the
DivX codec on your system you will be able t o play DivX m ovies using W indows Media Pl ayer or an y other
DivX-enabled player.

Despite the fact that DivX movies offer better compression and higher quality video then regular MPEG
movies they take less tim e to encode due to th e incredib le compres sion technolog y. The DivX codec makes
it possible to compres s/encode a full-len gth movie at near DVD-q uality that's sm all enough to fit on a single
CD (700MB). The DivX v ideo is usually combined with MP3 au dio to produce both high quality vi deo and
audio.

XviD

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­XviD is the name of a new open-source video codec, which just like DivX is based on the new MPEG-4

compression standard f or video. It's curr ently being deve loped by people fr om all over the wor ld. When you
install a video codec on your s ystem it basicall y works as an add- on to your s ystem with inst ructions ho w to
compress/decom press video in t hat video f ormat. Once you've installed the XviD c odec on your s ystem you
will be able to play XviD movies using Windows Media Player or any other XviD-enabled player.

MPEG

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­MPEG stands for Motion Pic ture Experts Group. This is the same group that made the MPEG-1 (used in
VideoCDs), MPEG-2 (used in DVD and SuperVCDs a nd other hi gh bandwidth s ystems) and M PEG-4 (ASF,
DivX, WMV, low-mid bandwidth systems) standards. They are also r esponsi ble for MP3 (MP EG Audio La yer

3) and AAC audio compression standards.

VOB

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­VOB stands for Video OBjects. DVD movies are stored in VOB files. Each VOB file has a number of
video/audio/subpicture streams.

SUBPICTURE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­A subpicture stream found in VOB f iles normally ref ers to the subtitl es. Subtitles on DVDs are not store d as
"text", but rather, as a video stream. A subpicture stream is one that overlays on top of the main picture
stream (ie. the movie), and on a DVD, the subpicture stream can be turned on and off.

AVI

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­AVI stands f or Aud io Vide o Interl ea ve. AVI is a file format, like MP3 or JPG. But unlik e these formats, AVI is a
container format, meaning it can contain video/audio compressed using many different combinations of
codecs. So while MP3 and JPG can only contain a certain k ind of compression (MPEG Audio Layer 3 and
JPEG), AVI can contain many different k inds of c ompress ion (eg. Di vX vi deo + W MA audio or Indeo vi deo +
PCM audio), as lon g as a codec is availa ble for encodin g/decoding. AVI all look the same on the "o utside",
but on the "inside", the y may be com pletely different. Alm ost all tools on this s ite are not just D ivX tools, but
also AVI tools, so will probably work with other codecs.

AC3

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­Initially known as Audio Coding 3 AC3 is a synonym for Dolby Digital these days. Dolby Digital is an
advanced audio compression technology allowing to encode up to 6 separate channels at bitrates up to
448kbit/s. For more information please check out the Dolby website.

DTS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­By supplying film studios with outstanding techniques for delivering soundtracks to an attentive audience,

36

DTS digital sound is no w featured on virtuall y 100% of major Hollywood r eleases. Although the t echnology
used for motion pictures differs from that featured in consumer and professional audio music and home
theater systems, their DTS heritage means end users can enjoy sound that closely matches the original.

WMA

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­WMA stands for Windows Media Audio. It is a proprie tary format deve loped by Mic rosoft for audio str eaming
and compression. WMA files, theoretically, has double the compression rate of MP3s, although this is
debatable.

Ogg Vorbis

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­Ogg Vorbis is a new aud io compression f ormat. It is roughl y comparable to other formats used to stor e and
play digital mus ic, such as MP3, VQF, AAC, and ot her digital audio form ats. It is different from these other
formats because it is completely free, open, and unpatented.
Ogg Vorbis has been desi gned to completely replace all proprietar y, patent ed audio formats. That means
that you can encode all your music or audio content in Vorbis and never look back.

480p

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­480 progressive; for m of standard-defini tion digital tel evision (SDTV) c omparable to VGA computer disp lays
but not considered high-d efinition tele vision (HDTV), thoug h 480p is discer nibly cleaner and sl ightly sharper
than analog televisi on. The native resolu tion of DVD is 480p, but that resolution c an be seen only if a DVD
player outputs a progres sive-s can signal and the DT V has pr ogressive- scan or com ponent-video i nputs; it is
also known as EDTV.

480i

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­480 interlaced; form of standard-definition digital televisi on (SDTV) that approximates the quality of analog
television but not c onsidere d high-def inition te levisi on (HDT V). Even thou gh the n ative reso lution of DVDs is
480p, they are viewed at 480i on an NTSC analog tel evis ion.

720p

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­720 progressive. O ne of two c urr ent l y used f or mats designated as high-definit ion television in the ATSC DTV
standard, this technology comprises 720 vertical pixels and 1,280 horizontal pixels. The p stands for
progressive, as oppos e d t o int er lace d, s c an ni ng, whic h is used i n t he other accepted HDTV standard, known
as 1080i. Contrar y to myth, 720p is not inferior to 1080 i; 7 20p has f e wer l ines but als o h as the ad va ntages of
progressive scanning and a constant vertical resolution of 720 lines, making it better able to handle motion.

1080i

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­1080 interlaced; on e of two f ormats designa ted as high- definition t elevision in the ATSC DTV standard, with
1,080 vertical pixels by 1,920 horizontal pixels. The i stands for interlaced, as opposed to progressive
scanning, used in the s econd HDTV standard, 720p. Contrary to myth, 1080 i is not superior to 720 p; 1080i
has more scanning lines but also suffers the disadvantages of interlaced scanning.

NTSC

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­The NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) was responsible for developing, in 1953, a set of
standard protocol f or television (TV) broadc ast transmission and reception in the Unit ed States. Two other
standards - Phase Alternation Line (PAL) and Sequential Couleur avec Memoire (SECAM) - are used in
other parts of the world. The NTSC s tandards have n ot c hanged s ignif icantl y since the ir incep tion, ex cept f or
the addition of new parameters for color signals. NTSC signals are not directly compatible with com puter
systems.
An NTSC TV im age has 525 horizontal lines p er frame (complete s creen image). Thes e lines are scanned
from left to right, and from top to bottom. Every other line is skipped. Thus it takes two screen scans to
complete a frame: one s ca n for the od d-num bered h ori zontal lines , and an other s can f or the even- num bered
lines. Each half-frame screen scan takes approximately 1/60 of a second; a complete frame is scanned
every 1/30 second. This alternate-line scanning system is known as interlacing.

PAL

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------­Phase Alternation L ine (PAL) is the analog televis ion display standard that is used in Europe and certain
other parts of the world. PAL is one of the thre e major TV standards together with the American Nati onal
Television Systems Committee(NTSC) color television system and the French Sequential Couleur avec
Memoire (SECAM). NTSC is also used in Japan. SECAM is used in countries of the former Soviet Union.
Like SECAM, PAL scans the cathode ray tube (CRT) horizontall y 625 times to form the video image. NT SC
scans 525 lines. Color definitions between the systems vary slightly.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-­to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free
Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other
Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can
apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you
to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of
the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the
recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.
And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives
you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is
no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not
reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use
or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

38

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder
saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to
any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or
with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside
its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if
its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the
Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspic uo us ly and appr opr i ately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright
notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of
any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prom inent notices stating that you chang ed the files
and the date of any change.
b) You must cause an y work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is
derived from the Pr ogram or any part thereof, to be l icensed as a whole at no charge t o all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it,
when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement includ ing an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that user s may redistribute the program under these
conditions, and t el ling the user how to vie w a c opy of this License. (Exc ept ion: if the Program itself is
interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your wor k based on the Program is
not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the
Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work
based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under th e terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium c ustomarily used for software
interchange; or,

39

b) Accompany it with a wr it ten off er, valid for at least three years, to give a n y thir d party, for a charg e
no more than your c ost of physically perform ing source distribution, a com plete machine-readable
copy of the correspond ing source c ode, to be distr ibuted un der the term s of Secti ons 1 and 2 a bove
on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the inf ormation you received as to the offer to distribute cor responding sourc e
code. (This alter native is allowed only for n oncommercial distribution a nd only if you received the
program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an
executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on)
of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then
offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source
code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants
you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by
law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based
on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for
copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted
herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If
you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a
patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance
of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent
application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this
License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an

40

explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in
or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in
the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this
License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does
not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are
different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will
be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of
promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE

PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO
USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
