Explanation of Technical Jargon

    Video in a DVD, compliant with the standards laid by the DVD Forum. Videos purchased from stores, recorded from camera and recorded by DVD recorders fall under here
  • VCD (Video CD)
    A popular optical format in Singapore. Almost all DVD players are capable of playing regular VCDs.
  • WMA / WMV (Windows Media Audio / Video)
    Microsoft's computer media format. Many people like to convert their videos to this format as any Windows computer can read it and the resulting file size is smaller.
  • miniDV
    Digital Video (DV) is a video format launched in 1996 has since become one of the standards for consumer and semiprofessional video production. Offers good video quality, especially compared to earlier consumer analogue formats such as 8 mm, Hi-8 and VHS-C.
  • VHS (Video Home System)
    VHS became a standard format for consumer recording and viewing in the 1980s. A VHS cassette contains a 12.70 mm (½-inch) wide magnetic tape wound between two spools. In our young days, this video format was most frequently used.
  • AVI (Audio Video Interleave)
    AVI is a video file format introduced by Microsoft. Most AVI files come in DV, DivX, XviD and various other formats. AVI video files require codecs installed to be able to play the video.
  • MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)
    The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is a working group of ISO/IEC charged with the development of video and audio encoding standards. This is the format used to encode the video in the DVD and VCD formats.
  • SVCD (Super Video CD)
    A revised version of the VCD that offers higher bit rate and better quality. SVCDs store digital video in MPEG-2 format at a resolution of 480x576 pixels (for PAL).
  • DivX, MPEG4
    DivX, a fully MPEG-4-Advanced Simple Profile compliant codec, is used to encode video while taking up little space. XviD is also a competitor, and a MPEG-4 video codec.
