Introduction

English

MPEG – a type of data compression used for audio or video storage on disc.

MP3 – MPEG-1 Layer III audio. This is a compressed audio format that allows you to record

many hours of music on a single CD.

NTSC – An acronym for National Television System Committee. The organization that devel-

oped both the American Black & White and Color television system.

PAL – An acronym for Phase Alternate Line. This is one of several composite video systems.

The PAL format is used extensively in Western Europe.

PCM – An uncompressed, digitally coded representation of an analog signal. This is the form

of the digital audio signal used for both CD and laserdisc. It is a serial data stream that is

coded for transmission or recording. PCM is also used for many other types of serial data

communications.

S-video – A video interface standard that carries separate luminance and chrominance

signals, usually on a four-pin mini-DIN connector. Also called Y/C. The quality of S-video is

signiﬁcantly better than composite video since it does not require a comb ﬁlter to separate

the signals. Most high-end televisions have S-video inputs.

Title – numbered elements of the DVD contents, which may include more than the movie

alone.

Track – Individual selections recorded on an audio tape or disc.
