DVD-Video Requirements

The Hollywood based Motion Picture Studio Advisory Committee defined the following requirements for the DVD-Video format:

• 135 minutes on one side of a single disc (covering 99% of all movies).
• Video resolution better than Laserdisc (LD).
• CD quality surround sound for true home cinema listening.
• 3 to 5 languages (audio) per title on one disc.
• 4 to 6 subtitles per title on one disc.
• Pan-scan, letterbox and widescreen formats.
• Parental lockout features.
• Copy protection.
• Compatibility with existing CDs.
• Chapter division and access (like Video CD).
• Manufacturing cost similar to current CD costs.

The Video CD format was studied, but was rejected as it could not offer the necessary combination of quality and playing time, hence the need for a new higher capacity disc format that has been realised in DVD. The above requirements have all been met in the DVD-Video specification.
