English DVD-VIDEO General Information • Digital video discs provide perfect digital, studio-quality pictures; three dimensional digital; multi-channel audio; story sequences screened from your choice of camera angle; sound tracks in as many as eight languages; and up to 32 subtitles if available on disc. • DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on the single 5-inch disc.
