Glossary 10 Glossary Blu-ray disc Blu-ray technology refers to burning on special data carriers. In comparison to DVDs, which use a red laser in order to read and write data, Blu-ray discs are written with a blue laser. The shorter wavelength (405 nm) of this blue laser makes it possible to position the laser with greater accuracy. Data can be written in a more compact manner and takes up less space on the disc.
Glossary added. Once the disc has been finalized, the DVD+VR format is essentially compatible with DVD-Video and can be played in most DVD players. The storage capacity doubles for burning to a DVD+R DL disc as does the space for the DVD+VR. DVD-VFR DVD-Video format recording (video mode) is a particular variant of the DVD-Video format which offers three options not available for DVD-Video: 1) Direct capturing of videos on the disc is possible in real-time.
Glossary Interlaced video The interlacing process, which is used to display a TV picture in NTSC or PAL standard, displays two half frames in succession. As the frame is generated, only the odd lines from the output device are displayed for the first half frame. When this is complete, the second half frame is generated from the even lines. The two frames are encoded separately. The relatively high refresh frequency means that the eye picks this up as a single frame.
Glossary Progressive video In contrast to interlaced video that combines two half image frames in sequence, progressive video makes use of full picture frames. This way the picture quality is greatly improved. Many modern video recording devices and formats like AVCHD 2.0 make use of this. Nero Video allows importing, editing and exporting AVCHD 2.0 and other progressive formats.
