BIT RATE
When playing MPEG audio sound tracks:
Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio
data per second in a disc. The higher the bit
rate, the larger the amount of data. When the
bit rate level is high, there is a large amount of
data. However, this does not always mean that
you can get higher quality pictures or sounds.
LAYER
This item indicates the approximate point
where the disc is playing. When the DVD has
dual layers, the system indicates which layer is
being read (“Layer 0” or “Layer 1”). For details
on the layers, see page 62 (DVD).
