Overview
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of years,
you've probably heard of DVD video and what it can do. This disc-based
medium delivers video quality twice as good as conventional VHS tape and
unlike VHS tapes, the discs will never wear out with repeated viewing.
What's more, the format allows for different versions of a film or additional
material because a DVD can store data on both sides of the disc and on
multiple "layers".
When it comes to audio, DVD is a winner as well. DVD can deliver two channels
of standard CD-quality sound and several configurations of Dolby Digital,
from mono sound to 5.1-channel surround. Most DVDs offer multiple language
and subtitle options and a host of other features, including alternate
sound tracks that can be used for an isolated music score or a forum for
the director, the writer, the stars, or a noted film critic to engage
in running commentary on the on-screen action.
