MP3 DISC features
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3
and arises from the Motion Picture Expert
Group (MPEG) Standard which was
developed for compressing film data.
The MP3 format enables audio files to be
saved on a computer with a sound quality
similar to that of a CD. This only requires
approx. 10% of the original data quantity.
The standard encoding bit rate
for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the
higher the bit rate of a an MP3 file, the
better the sound quality.
Most MP3 files on the Internet are
encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. 160 kbps is
considered Discs quality.
MP3 files can be downloaded from the
Internet and then burned onto a CD-ROM
disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3
tag from the file header, which contains
information on title and artist, and
display this in the info menu/status display.
MP3 Discs contain sound recordings.
They can be played in the normal manner
on an audio system. The digital signals
transmitted during MP3 playback are PCM
coded, regardless of the audio
output setting. The signals are output with
the same data rate as the music source
(possibilities are: 32 kbps – 320 kbps,
ideal: 128 kbps).
MP3 files can be organised into folders
and subfolders, similar to
files within a PC.
JPEG DISC features
JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts
Group. This process was designed to
compress picture files.
JPEG files can be burned onto a Discs
along with other file types. Such CDs are
known as file Discs or mixed mode Discs.
For example, the Discs could contain MP3
files (audio) and JPEG files (for example
to display album covers).
The files on a JPEG Discs can be
organised in directories. This structure is
similar to that of an MP3 Discs.
JPEG Discs only contain data in from of
the compressed JPEG format. This is
mostly data from digital cameras or from
imaging programs. The data (images) can
be displayed individually or in sequence
in a slide show.
Audio Disc features
An audio Discs is identified by this logo.
Audio Discs contain only sound
recordings. They can be played in the
normal manner on an audio system.
The individual tracks are stored in a
sequence. There are no folders.
DivX CD Features

saved on a computer with a quality similar
to that of a DVD. DivX’s may contain
serevel subtitle files and you can select
one of those before starting playback from
a subtitle selection menu.
DivX files can be organised in to folders
and subfolders, similar to files within a
PC.
