DIGITAL VIDEO DISC IS COMING

The DVD Consortium, comprising the world’s leading manufacturers of consumer electronic products, including Hitachi, Matsushita, Mitsubishi, Philips Electronics N.V., Pioneer, Sony, Thomson Multimedia, Time Warner, Toshiba, and JVC, is driving the digital videodisc.

A DVD disc holds 25 times the data of a CD-ROM on the same size disc. A single sided, single layer DVD contains a full-length high-quality movie currently requiring two 12-inch laser discs. DVD also stores data, audio, advanced multimedia and interactive games. It can serve as mass storage in a PC, too.

“DVD offers a quantum leap in storage capacity, audio and video quality for computer users,” says Chris Lam, MPEG market specialist at SGS-Thomson Microelectronics in St Genis-Pouilly, France. “We believe this technology will accelerate the convergence of the PC and entertainment markets. ”
