and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video 
mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, 
while discs created in VR (Video Recording) 
mode allow the contents to be programmed or 
edited.
DVD+RW
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and 
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording 
format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO 
format.
File
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD/DATA 
DVD. (“File” is an exclusive definition for this 
system.) A single file consists of a single image 
or movie.
Film based software, Video based 
software
DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video 
based software. Film based DVDs contain the 
same images (24 frames per second) that are 
shown at movie theaters. Video based DVDs, 
such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays 
images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.
Multi-angle function
Various angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the 
video camera are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a 
picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Parental Control
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the 
disc by the age of the users according to the 
limitation level in each country. The limitation 
varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, 
playback is completely prohibited, violent 
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes 
and so on.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) 
to control playback.
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO 
CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing 
simple interactive programs, programs with 
search functions, and so on.
Progressive format
(sequential scanning)
In contrast to the Interlace format, the 
progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames 
per second by reproducing all scanning lines 
(525 lines for the NTSC system, 625 lines for the 
PAL system). The overall picture quality 
increases and still images, text and horizontal 
lines appear sharper. This format is compatible 
with the 525 or 625 progressive format.
Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights. A 
region number is allocated on each DVD system 
or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each 
region code is shown on the system as well as on 
the disc packaging. The system can play discs 
that match its region code. The system can also 
play discs with the “ ” mark. Even when the 
region code is not shown on the DVD, the region 
limit may still apply.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) 
functions, the menu screens, moving pictures 
and still pictures are divided into sections called 
“scenes.”
Title
The longest section of a picture or music feature 
on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the 
entire album in audio software. 
Track
Section of a picture or a music piece on a 
VIDEO CD, CD, or MP3. An album is 
composed of several tracks (MP3 only). 
VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of 
a worldwide standard of digital compression 
technology. The picture data is compressed to 
about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a 
12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes 
of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. 
Sounds outside the range of human hearing are 
compressed while sounds we can hear are not 
compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the 
audio information of conventional audio CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
