Ratio:
The aspect ratio is the ratio between the height and width of a rectangle. In practice
these are photos, screens or projection screens. This method can also be used to
describe the aspect ratio of pixels.
Here are some examples of typical aspect ratios: at home 4:3, 16:9 (typical for TV
sets), or 16:10 (widescreen flat screens, widescreen notebooks), 3:2 for 35 mm films
and photos. In cinemas you mostly find 1.85:1
Red Book
Specific standards have been established for the different CD types in order to unify
their data structure and to make them compatible with the different CD drives. Their
names refer to the color of the books where these standards were written.
The term "Red Book" is common language for the Compact Disc Audio Standard. The
requirements listed here have to be observed for industrial CP production. Audio CD
players only read CDs created according to the Red Book format. It is therefore
necessary to first convert PC files into this format before writing them onto an audio
disc compatible with any audio CD player.
Restore
Restoration of files originating from a backup will be called "Restoring".
RM
RealMedia includes all of the media formats from software developer RealNetworks.
RealMedia especially refers to the "RealVideo" video format and the "RealAudio"
sound format. The quality of RealVideo files is comparably good at high compression
rates, but does have some loss of quality. These formats cannot be played back by
(hardware) DVD players.
