About DVDs

Music CDs and DVDs have grooves (tracks) in which the
digital data is recorded. The data is represented as
microscopic pits recorded into the track – these pits are read
by a laser beam to play the disc. On DVDs, the density of the
tracks and pits is twice that of CDs, so DVDs can contain more
data in less space.

A 12 cm disc can contain one movie or about four hours of music.
In addition, DVDs provide sharp picture quality with vivid colors
thanks to a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines (compared to less
than 300 for VHS tape). With the addition of an optional, digital audio
processor (PXA-H900, PXA-H701 etc.), you can recreate the power
and presence of a movie theater with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
Surround.
