Digital Encoding Audio and Video Preparation/Encoding
DVD's increased complexity means additional
processes have to be carried out compared to CD. For DVD Video, (and audio-visual segments
of DVD-ROM) the digital video and audio is compresses using a technique called MPEG2
encoding. This reduces the quantity of video and audio information to put on the disc
without reducing quality. DVD also allows inclusion of different versions of the movie
soundtrack with different laguage dialogue.
