sampling frequencies on BD or DVD and provides
higher sound quality than CD.
M
MAC Address
A unique identification number for network devices
such as LAN cards.
MP3 (MPEG AudioLayer 3)
This is an internationally standardized audio data
compression scheme, using the “MPEG-1” video
compression standard. It compresses the data
volume to about one eleventh its original size while
