Bit rate
Bit rate is the value indicating
amount of compressed information
recorded on the DVD disc per one
second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bits
per second) for video signals.
1Mbps indicates that the amount of
information per second is 1,000,000
bits. For audio signals, kbps (kilo
bits per second) is used. The larger
this value, the larger the amount of
information involved. However, this
value does not relate to the picture
and sound quality.
Chapter
A segment of an image divided by
two indexes.
Dolby Digital format
Dolby Digital is an audio data
compression technology developed
by Dolby Laboratories. This is
known as “Dolby Surround.” The
output signals are composed of 1
channel of woofer for playback of
the low sound, in addition to right
and left of front, center, and right
and left of rear. This is called 5.1
channel surround. 2-channel
playback is available for the DVO-
1000MD.
Finalize
To arrange data on a recorded DVD
disc so that it can be played back
with another piece of DVD
equipment.
A DVD+RW disc is finalized when
it is unloaded after being recorded.
However, finalization is required
even when a disc is played back
using equipment compatible with
DVD+RW discs. The disc can be
recorded on again even if it is
finalized.
Index
An index is a mark put at a desired
point during playback or recording.
The DVO-1000MD can place up to
99 indexes for one title and up to 256
indexes on one disc.
Mbps
Mbps is the abbreviation of Mega
bits per second.
Mbps is used to indicate the
transmission speed of data. Bit is the
unit used to indicate the size of data
handled in computers. 1Mbps means
that 1,000,000 digital signals can be
handled for one second.
Original title
Titles actually recorded on the
DVD+RW (VR mode).
Once they are edited, they cannot be
restored to their original state.
Region code
A code to specify the region where
the disc can be played back. DVD
recorders and DVD players have
their own region codes. A disc can
be played back only when the region
codes of both the player and the
recorder are the same.
Title
The largest unit of images or music
recorded on a DVD. Normally, for
image software, one film is one title,
and for music software, one album
(or a piece of music) is one title.
With the DVO-1000MD, one title is
the image recorded from the start of
recording to the end of recording.
