Know about the signs on DVD discs
Buying DVD-Video film is not as simple as buying VCD disc or Cassette,
as each DVD disc contains various icons, pointing out different
Specifications. If you muddled to purchase some DVD film, maybe it can
not play on DVD player. So it is necessary for you to learn about the
common signs on the DVD disc.
1. Sign for DVD Video
The standard DVD-Video laser disc: on each pack of DVD laser disc, you
must have seen the sign, showing the content on the DVD disc is in line
with DVD-Video standard audio-visual materials and all the function
Compliance with the definition of specifications. As long as you see the
sign, you will be sure that it is a DVD-Video laser video-audio disc,
which can play on DVD players.
2. DOLBY DIGITAL Dolby
The sign shows that the audio signal on the disc has used AC-3 encoder
processing, which allows you to enjoy the digital sound effects. DTS,
MPEG2 etc are similar with it.
3. NTSC OR PAL
Video system signs: Generally speaking, video system and the region
Restrictions usually are combined together. However, under some
circumstances, they will be separate. Commonly, there are two video
system signs, one of which, NTSC is the video output system for USA.
Europe and mainland of China use PAL system. In addition, beside these
two signs there are the appropriate region restrictions. “All” stands
for unlocking region. The number presents the region where you can enjoy
this film.
4. Subtitle
Multi-subtitle playback: the icon shows that it offers various
different subtitles on the disc. The figure among them says out the
number. However, some of DVD discs don’t use this kind of subtitle,
which requires you to take notes of the character of outside pack. After
this, you can make sure whether there is the subtitle that you what to
see.
5. Aspect ratio
Video format: If it is shown as 4:3, which says out the image has been
processed into 4:3, which is fit for playback on the traditional TV set.
If 16:9 is shown on the outside package, while you want the playback on
TV set with 4:3, you have to watch it as Letterbox or Pan & Scan mode.
Then the quality may be affected slightly.
6. RESTRICTED
The film classification: copyrighted films mostly are divided by the
Film classification system of USA, which divided the film as G, PG,
PG-13, R, NC-17 etc.
Without a doubt, these signs are very useful. Of course, when choosing
DVD disc, you should pay attention to the reality of the coverage. In
fact, the Pirated films are no more the content of the disc. For
example, some DVDs are duplicated as VCD. This won’t keep in line with
the original one. But the outside package still uses the introduction of
the authentic. These should be taken notes of.
