Simply the best way enjoy video
What's DVD


High-Quality Images

Digital Video Disc (sometimes referred to as Digital Versatile Disc) is a new digital video format that's far superior to any format available today. Using MPEG-2 video compression, DVD offers a picture resolution of more than 500 lines. DVD also has an enormous memory capacity, approximately that of 13 compact discs. This gives DVD the capability of holding an entire feature-length movie on one side of a single-layer disc.






High-Quality Audio

DVD features Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC-3) surround sound that realizes 3-dimensional theater-like sound when connected to a six-speaker surround sound system. Plus, DVD audio is fully compatible with Dolby Pro·Logic and Q-Surround, making it possible to enjoy surround sound even on conventional 2-channel stereo equipment.






Multi Functions

But that's not all. DVD software can store several multi-functions unavailable in any other format. Users can choose from up to 9 different camera angles and multiple story scenarios within one movie. DVD can also support up to 8 different audio tracks including foreign languages, alternate soundtracks or commentary, as well as up to 32 subtitle translations. All of these features packed into a disc the size of an audio CD!
