Features of the DivX

VIDEO CD
DivX
©
Video is an encoder/decoder, based on the MPEG-4 com-
pression system, which is used to encrypt and display compressed
video data.
This enables the DVD player to play back videos compressed in the
DivX
©
format. This results in playback quality with less artefacts and
higher compression.
DivX
©
video files have the suffix .AVI. DivX
©
Video data are packed
into the AVI file along with audio data which is compressed as MP3
data, this means:
DivX
©
Video and MP3 audio form the AVI file.
Further information on DivX

Video and how to create AVI files can
be found under www.DivX Networks.de.
You can see the registration code in the »System Setup« —> »DIVX

MP3 CD features
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and arises from the Motion
Picture Expert Group (MPEG) Standard which was developed for
compressing film data.
The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with
a sound quality similar to that of a CD. This only requires approx.
10% of the original data quantity. The standard encoding byte rate
for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the byte rate of a an
MP3 file, the better the sound quality.
Most MP3 files in the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. 160
kbps is considered CD quality.
MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned
onto a CD-ROM disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from
the file header, which contains information on title and artist, and
display this in the info menu/status display.
MP3 CDs contain sound recordings. They can be played in the nor-
mal manner on an audio system. The digital signals transmitted
during MP3 playback are PCM coded, regardless of the audio out-
put setting. The signals are output with the same data rate as the
music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps – 320 kbps, ideal: 128
kbps).
MP3 files can be organised into folders and subfolders, similar to
files within a PC.
