DVD Overview into the FBI warning or advertisements at the beginning of a disc), but it is helpful in complicated discs to keep button-happy viewers from going to the wrong place at the wrong time. Durability Unlike tape, DVDs are impervious to magnetic fields. A DVD left on a speaker or placed too close to a motor will be unharmed. Discs are also less sensitive to extremes of heat and cold. Because they are read by a laser that never touches the surface, the discs will never wear out—even your favorite one that you play six times a week or the kids’ favorite one that they play six times a day. DVDs are susceptible to scratching, but their sophisticated error-correction technology can recover from minor damage. Programmability Some DVD players are viewer-programmable, similar to CD players. Chapters can be selected for playback in specified order. You can rearrange the sequence of tracks in a music video to your own taste. You can even drive your friends crazy by having the catchiest song reappear at strategically annoying points. Multidisc players can be programmed to show a demo of your favorite scenes from different discs to impress visitors. Note that the access restrictions mentioned previously may make it difficult to program jumps into any arbitrary part of a disc. Availability of Features 165 Obviously, most DVD features entail extra work by the producer of the disc. Adding additional scenes, multiple language tracks, subtitles, ratings information, menus, branch points, and more demands additional effort and expense. The extent to which movie producers support these features depends largely on how much customers demand them and how much they are willing to pay for them. In the laserdisc market, a thriving special-edition industry emerged, titillating videophiles with restored footage, outtakes, director’s commentaries, production photos, and documentaries. These special editions required hundreds of hours of extra work by
166 dedicated or obsessed professionals, and they generally sold for over $100— three times the cost of a regular edition. Special editions of DVDs are even more common and more popular than those on laserdisc, yet the price typically is increased by only $10 or so, if at all. Beyond DVD-Video and DVD-Audio Features DVDs can contain much more than the limited selection supported by home DVD players. Computer software such as screen savers, games, and interactive enhancements can be included. Along with standard DVD computers, home video game systems and Internet WebTV boxes can support enhanced features. A single DVD could contain a movie, a video game based on the movie, an annotated screenplay with hotlinks to related scenes and storyboards, the searchable text of the novelization complete with illustrations and hyperlinks. In addition, it could contain links to Internet Web sites with more information, fan discussion forums, related merchandise, and special promotions. See the “WebDVD” section of Chapter 11. DVD is becoming the most common component of multipurpose set-top boxes, such as a combination digital video recorder, cable TV receiver, and DVD player/recorder, or a video game console that is also a DVD player and a Web browser. DVD Myths TEAMFLY Numerous myths have evolved concerning DVD. Apparently, some people had nothing better to do while waiting for it to appear than to sit around and misconstrue its characteristics. Some myths quickly met their deserved deaths once DVD proved itself, but many others continue to circulate, like urban legends of microwaved cats and kidney thefts. This section deals with the most common misperceptions of DVD. Myth: “DVD Is Revolutionary” Chapter 4 DVD is evolutionary, not revolutionary. The printing press was revolutionary. Television was revolutionary. Even CDs can be considered revolutionary because they were a completely new way of storing digital audio and computer data on a compact optical disc. But DVD is not fundamentally more than the evolution of CD and the refinement of Video CD. Other than digital
