	Enhanced Versatile Disc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Enhanced Versatile Disc (EVD) was announced on November 18, 2003 by China's Xinhua news agency as a response to the popular DVD Video format and its licensing costs (which some considered excessive).
		On the EVD, the video codecs VP5 and VP6 from On2 Technologies were supposed to be used.
		While the EVD format design including VP6 had been proposed to the Chinese government to become a standard, the effort appears to have stalled at that point and no further progress is evident.

		Enhanced Audio Codec (EAC) is an enhanced audio codec developed and owned by Beijing E-World, that uses a unique perceptual model to compress the audio signal by utilizing the redundancy as well as the relevancy.
		FVD, or Forward Versatile Disc, is an offshoot of DVD developed in Taiwan jointly by the Advanced Optical Storage Research Alliance (AOSRA) and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) as a more inexpensive alternative for high-definition content.
		With EVD, royalties to On2 for the VP6 codec were anticipated to be about $2 USD.

	AsiaFinest Discussion Forum -> Chinese Electronics Companies..
		While the national standard of EVDs is in the near future, the new disc format is currently under the scrutiny of related global industry organizations before it will be accepted as an international technical standard, Zhang said.
		Players powered by EVD technology are expected to offer as much as five times the quality of image definition compared with DVD players that dominate the market at present, and that is EVD's biggest advantage over DVD technology, according to experts.
		The appearance of EVDs is regarded by some as a challenge to the "Blue Ray," a next-generation disc technology, which is being jointly developed by a number of global electronics companies like Sony, Samsung and Philips.

		The first films on EVD will be available in Chinese shops by the end of the year, he said.
		EVD was developed as a cheaper and better quality alternative to DVD by a group of researchers and manufacturers who formed the government-backed Beijing E-World Technology.

		In the past year the EVD format has moved on enough to the point where EVD players are becoming widely available in China.
		EVD's physical specifications are like that of a DVD with a 12cm disc diameter, same UDF file system and disc capacity of around 8.5GB.
		Unlike DVD or even the upcoming HD-DVD and Blu-Ray technologies, EVD does not appear to have any sign of anti-piracy measures and the last thing any movie industry would like to see is a HDTV version of their movie being wide open to copying and piracy.

		The new format, called EVD (Enhanced Versatile Disc), will be playable only on EVD players and promises five times the image quality of DVD movies and a higher computer data-storage capacity, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
		The China-developed EVD standard is among several projects supported by the government in its drive to reduce license fee payments and "shake off dependence on foreign technologies in production", according to Xinhua.
		The EVD standard does not appear to be a user-recordable format for now, and aims to complement the DVD movie format for those with high-definition TVs.

		DVDs resemble compact discs as their physical dimensions are the same (12cm in diameter) but they are encoded in a different format and at a much higher density, using the Universal Disk Format (UDF) file system.
		The disc may have one or two sides, and one or two layers of data per side; the number of sides and layers determines the disc capacity.
		As linear (meters per second) track speed grows at outer parts of the disc proportionally to the radius, the rotational speed of the disc was adjusted according to which portion of the disc was being read.

		Called "EVD" (for "enhanced versatile disc"), the new format is reported to be technically superior to DVD, especially for recording and showing high definition television programs (HDTV).
		It also means that -- depending upon the encryption technology built into EVD -- Chinese movie buyers may not be subject to the same copy restrictions as people who buy DVDs in the United States and the rest of the world.
		The same will be true of the EVD industry which is growing up with government funding.

		The answer was no. The 4.7-gigabyte capacity was enough to meet the entertainment industry's requirement that the disc must be able to hold a movie lasting 135 minutes, the time limit for 95 percent of all films.
		The digital data on the disc is stored in sectors, with about 10 sectors of data needed on average for every video frame.
		Since the discs are transparent, the laser that reads the top layer can be refocused to read the bottom one; the out-of-focus pits on the top layer do not interfere with the reading of the bottom.

		One of the drawbacks of presenting widescreen versions of films on video is that a lot of the storage capacity of the media is wasted on reproducing the fl bars at the top and bottom of the screen resulting in reduced vertical resolution of the film itself.
		This means that all of the storage capacity of the DVD is used to store the actual picture information in its widescreen form and none of it is used on the fl bars, which are not displayed on 16:9 televisions anyway.
		There may be operational quirks or nonstandard features such as enhanced fl level, conversion of DD signals to PCM, settings for the six-channel analog outputs, or picture zoom that are unique to your brand and model of player.
