ABSTRACT

The latest development in the digital versatile disc (DVD) family is DVD-Audio. As shown in Figure 19.1, part 1 and part 2 of the ‘DVD Specifications for Read-Only Disc’ form the foundation for DVD-ROM. Together with the physical specifications (part 1) and the file system specifications (part 2), part 4 was also recently published to define the specifications for audio applications. Of course, according to part 3 (Video specifications) published before, video information can also be recorded on DVD-Audio.
