Codecs are required for processing and playing audio and video files. The Nero DigitalTM codec allows you to save all the audio and video material on a DVD on a normal data CD with no perceptible loss in quality. The audio and video codecs of Nero DigitalTM are based entirely on the industry standard MPEG-4 Video ISO 14496-2 and MPEG4 Audio High Efficiency AAC and Parametric Stereo AAC. Nero Digital files have the suffix . MP4. Nero DigitalTM files can contain a video track, up to 8 audio tracks and up to 32 overlay tracks (e. g. To create Nero DigitalTM files you need the "Nero Recode" or "Nero Vision Express" software. You can find more information on Nero DigitalTM at www. nerodigital. com. MP4 video CDs An MP4 video is an encoder/decoder, based on the MPEG-4 compression system, which is used to decrypt 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 fewer artefacts and higher compression. MP4 video data is packed into the AVI file along with audio data which is compressed as MP3 data, this means: MP4 video and MP3 audio form the AVI file. MP3 CDs MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and comes 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. This only requires about 10% of the original data quantity. The standard encoding bit rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the bit rate of an MP3 file, the better the sound quality. Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. 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. 27 ENGLISH PLAYING AUDIO/VIDEO FILES __________ MP3 CDs contain sound recordings.
