The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with a sound quality similar to that of a CD. Generally, the higher the bit rate of an MP3 file, the better the sound quality. MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned onto a CD-ROM. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from the file header, which contains information on the song and the artist, and displays this in the info menu/status display. The digital signals transmitted during MP3 playback are PCM encoded, regardless of the audio output setting. The signals are output with the same data rate as the music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps ­ 320 kbps, ideal: 128 kbps). MP3 files can be organised into folders and subfolders similar to files on a computer. JPEG CDs JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. For example, the CD could contain MP3 files (audio) and JPEG files (for example to display album covers). The data (images) can be displayed individually or in sequence in a slide show. 27 ENGLISH PLAYING AUDIO/VIDEO FILES __________ KODAK Picture CDs This method was developed for archiving analogue photographs. After they are developed, small photographs are scanned with a resolution of 1536 x 1024 pixels and burnt onto a CD in JPEG format. In addition to the picture files, a KODAK picture CD can also contain imaging software which enables the user to play the CD on a PC, edit the pictures or view a slide show.
