4:3

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have
been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression
technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically
pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a
whole movie can be recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each
other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be
recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the
two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided
play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.
