audio layer 2 digital encoding to give your videos

the sound quality of CDs at a much lower bitrate.

4. HDV uses the same tapes that are already

popular for DV recording, with the recording time

being the same as well.

is used in digital broadcasts and also DVDs.

format, although HDV records a high definition

signal. This will allow you to record HD video on

the same tapes used for DV recordings. A signal with

HDV has 4.5 times as much data as a DV signal used

with NTSC. HDV also includes CD quality sound,

MPEG 2 compression, real time encoding, and so much

more.

the best, if not the best. Sony has always been

the rule. This format has been years in the making,

which helps to make it what it is today.
