To create Nero DigitalTM files you need the "Nero Recode" or "Nero Vision Express" software. You can find out more about Nero DigitalTM at www. nerodigital. com. Features of the DivX©VIDEO CD DivX©Video is an encoder/decoder, based on the MPEG-4 compression system, which is used to encrypt and display compressed video data. This enables the DVD player to play back videos compressed in the DivX© format. This results in playback quality with less artefacts and higher compression. DivX©Video data are packed into the AVI file along with audio data which is compressed as MP3 data, this means: DivX©Video and MP3 audio form the AVI file. Further information on DivX©Video and how to create AVI files can be found under www. DivX Networks. de. You can see the registration code in the »Disc preferences« --> »DIVX Registration« menu on page 42. 28 PLAYBACK AUDIO/VIDEO FILES _____________ MP3 CD features MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and arises from the Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG) Standard which was developed for compressing film data. 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 byte rate of a an MP3 file, the better the sound quality. MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned onto a CD-ROM disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from the file header, which contains information on title and artist, and display this in the info menu/status display. The digital signals transmitted during MP3 playback are PCM coded, 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 within a PC. 29 ENGLISH PLAYBACK AUDIO/VIDEO FILES _____________ Playback ROOT/MP3 Sting - Terra d´Oru. mp3 Bob Dylan ­ Tangled up in blue. mp3 Bob Dylan ­ Simple twist of fate. mp3 Bon Jovi ­ Bed of roses. mp3 Supertramp ­ Crime of the Century. mp3 Bon Jovi ­ Bed of roses. mp3 Dire Straits ­ Brothers in arms. mp3 Donovan ­ Universal soldier. mp3 1 After the disc compartment shuts and the DivX©Video CD/MP3 CD is scanned, the file browser (the table of contents) of the DivX©Video CD/MP3 CD is displayed.
