About Standard and High Definition DVDs
Standard definition (SD) DVDs provided most viewers with their first digital video
experience. The great video quality, interactive menus, and surround sound audio found
on current DVDs set a high standard for viewer expectations. Meanwhile, the establishment
of high definition (HD) video format standards and the increasing availability of HD
broadcasts have led to more and more viewers having HD video monitors, and even
higher expectations for DVDs.
These expectations, along with the development of improved compression technologies
and a blue laser technology that greatly increases a disc’s storage capacity, have led to
the ability of recording HD video onto a DVD.
