This is most commonly used to encode 23.976 frame/s content for playback at 29.97 frame/s. Content with a frame rate different from one of the rates shown above can be encoded to H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 by using pulldown. The H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 format supports both interlaced and progressive-scan content. The MPEG-1 Part 2 format does not support interlaced video. Widescreen video is supported only in D-1 resolutions. Video with 4:3 frame aspect ratio is supported in all video modes. 352 × 240 pixels at 29.97 frame/s, progressive (Same as the VCD Standard).352 × 288 pixels at 25 frame/s, progressive (Same as the VCD Standard).The following formats are allowed for MPEG-1 video:

704 × 480 pixels 352 × 480 pixels (same as the China Video Disc standard).

At a display rate of 29.97 frames per second, interlaced (commonly used in regions with 60 Hz image scanning frequency, compatible with analog NTSC):ħ20 × 480 pixels (same resolution as D-1).

At a display rate of 25 frames per second, interlaced (commonly used in regions with 50 Hz image scanning frequency, compatible with analog PAL/SECAM):ħ20 × 576 pixels (same resolution as D-1) 704 × 576 pixels 352 × 576 pixels (same as the China Video Disc standard) 352 × 288 pixels.

The following formats are allowed for H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 video: DVD-Video supports video with a bit depth of 8 bits per color YCbCr with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. To record digital video, DVD-Video uses either H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 compression at up to 9.8 Mbit/s (9,800 kbit/s) or MPEG-1 Part 2 compression at up to 1.856 Mbit/s (1,856 kbit/s). Certain information in the DVD Book is proprietary and confidential. The specification is not publicly available and every subscriber must sign a non-disclosure agreement. The DVD-Video specification was created by DVD Forum and can be obtained from DVD Format/Logo Licensing Corporation for a fee of $5,000. DVD-Video was first available in Japan on Novem(with major releases beginning December 20, 1996), followed by a release on Main the United States-to line up with the 69th Academy Awards that same day. Typically, the data rate for DVD movies ranges from 3 to 9.5 Mbit/s, and the bit rate is usually adaptive.

Commercial DVD movies are encoded using a combination MPEG-2 compressed video and audio of varying formats (often multi-channel formats as described below). Discs using the DVD-Video specification require a DVD drive and an MPEG-2 decoder (e.g., a DVD player, or a computer DVD drive with a software DVD player). DVD-Video was the dominant consumer home video format in Asia, North America, Europe, and Australia in the 2000s until it was supplanted by the high-definition Blu-ray Disc. Other logo used from 1997-2001 (although some DVDs from 2001-2003 and some pirated DVDs made after 2001 still carry this logo)ĭVD-Video is a consumer video format used to store digital video on DVD discs.
