CD-R (compact disc recordable): 
 
A type of 
CD that can be recorded only once. Can be used to 
make audio CDs, or MP3/WMA/JPEG discs.
 
 
CD-RW (compact disc rewritable): 
 
A type of 
CD that can be recorded many times. Can be used to 
make audio CDs, MP3/WMA/JPEG discs.
 
 
Chapter: 
 
Titles on DVD-Video discs can be subdi-
vided into chapters.
 
 
Component video: 
 
A video connection format 
that separates the luminance (Y) and color difference 
signals (P
 
R
 
, P
 
B
 
), providing better picture quality than 
S-Video.
 
 
Composite video: 
 
A video connection format that 
mixes the luminance and color signals together.
 
 
Dolby Digital: 
 
The multi-channel digital surround 
sound format used on most DVD-Videos.
 
 
Downmixing: 
 
The process of mixing multiple 
audio channels into fewer channels. For example, a 
5.1-channel surround mix can be downmixed into 
two channels for reproduction on stereo systems.
 
 
Downsampling: 
 
The process of reducing the sam-
pling rate of digital audio.
 
 
DTS (Digital Theater System): 
 
The 5.1-channel 
surround format that uses less compression for faith-
ful reproduction.
 
 
DVD-R (DVD recordable): 
 
A type of DVD disc 
that can be recorded only once. Can be used to make 
DVD-Video discs or to store computer data.
 
 
DVD-RW (DVD rewritable): 
 
A type of DVD disc 
that can be recorded many times. Can be used to 
make DVD-Video discs or to store computer data.
 
 
DVD-Video: 
 
The format for storing movies on 
DVD, with interactive menus, multiple language 
soundtracks, subtitles, camera angles, and so on.
 
 
Field: 
 
In interlaced scanning, a field is a single scan 
of the screen. There are two fields per frame.
 
 
Frame: 
 
An individual TV picture is called a frame. 
With the NTSC color system there are 30 frames per 
second.
 
 
HD: 
 
Abbreviation for high definition, as in 
HDTV(high-definition TV).
 
 
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content 
Protection): 
 
The video encryption technology 
developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to 
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compati-
ble device to display the encrypted video. 
 
 
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface): 
 
A new connection format that greatly simplifies AV 
connections by carrying uncompressed SD or HD 
digital video and digital audio all in one cable.
 
 
Interlaced scanning: 
 
TV pictures are made by 
scanning the screen in horizontal lines from top to 
bottom. With Interlaced scanning, two scans (
 
fields
 
are used to make each picture (
 
frame
 
). 
 
Contrast with
 
 
Progressive scanning.
■ JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): 
The compressed file format used to store digital pho-
tos.
■ LFE (low-frequency effects): The surround-
sound channel used for low-frequency effects.
■ Linear PCM: The uncompressed digital audio for-
mat used for audio CDs. PCM stands for Pulse Code 
modulation.
■ MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3): Popular com-
pressed file format for storing digital music.
■ MPEG1 (Moving Picture Experts Group 1): 
The compressed digital video format used for Video 
CDs.
■ MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group 2): 
The compressed digital video format used for 
DVD-Videos, offering better picture quality than 
MPEG1.
■ NTSC: The color TV system used in the United 
States, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea.
■ PAL: The color TV system used in most of Europe, 
the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and China.
■ Progressive scanning: TV pictures are made by 
scanning the screen in horizontal lines from top to 
bottom. With progressive scanning, each picture 
(frame) is made by scanning the entire screen in one 
go, resulting is a clearer and stabler picture. Contrast 
with
 Interlaced scanning.
■ S-Video: A video connection format that separates 
the luminance (Y) and color (C) signals, providing 
better picture quality than composite video.
■ Title: Movies on DVD-Video are called titles.
■ WMA (Windows Media Audio): A compressed 
file format for storing digital music.
