DVD Video describes the current standard used for storing video content on DVD’s. DVD rentals have become mainstream, out numbering the old viewing systems of VHS or even Beta from generationa ago. Millions of DVD videos are made and distributed around the world every year. Production studios are able to print millions of DVD copies to distribute around the world. The resolutions are typically formatted using either 4:3 or 16:9 ratios. The DVD audio is typically stored using eiher Dolby Digital or Digital Home Theater services, including surround sound provided through many home media and theater systems. There are variations in the DVD players that are produced around the world, but most DVD’s are formatted to be compatiable with any player device.

Some DVD’s have the ability to store subtitles within their systems in various langauages that make it easy for movie studios to launch their movies around the world in a single DVD copy, versus having to print a different series for every language. The subtitles are stored on the disks in bipma images that play over the movie when it is being played back.

DVD Videos can also contain extra features, titles and menu selections that are added after the original DVD copy is made. A major selling point of DVD videos is the ability to hold a large quantity of information. With the new dual layer technology, longer films can even be copied onto the same single double sided DVD, versus the expense of creating 2 separate DVD’s and a different style distribution container. This technology combined with DVD copy software, can also allow home users to create their own copies of their DVD’s.
