CyberLink PowerDirector
148
SP
(Standard Play) The median video quality in
PowerDirector, inferior to HQ but superior to LP.
streaming Streaming is a data transfer technology that
allows viewers to play a file received over the
Internet without downloading it onto their own
computer.
SVCD
(Super Video Compact Disc) A CD-size disc format
that offers much higher video quality than VCD, but
lower than that of DVD. It can hold 35 minutes of
video, and can contain menus and chapters like a
DVD, as well as slideshows with background audio.
SVCD can be played on a PC with DVD playback
software, and on some standalone DVD players.
SVRT, SVRT
II
(Smart Video Rendering Technology) A proprietary
movie rendering technology from CyberLink that
only compiles those portions of a movie clip that have
been modified, reducing the amount of time needed
for production. SVRT II is able to discern between
audio and video portions of a movie clip, and only
renders the portion that has been modified. For a
fuller discussion of SVRT/SVRT II, see What is
SVRT/SVRT II and when can I use it? on p.136.
Type I
Method of storing DV data in AVI format that was
defined by Microsoft. This format stores data (i.e.
video and audio) as a single AVI stream. It offers
better compression, but is newer, and therefore
compatible with fewer systems than Type II.
Type II
Method of storing DV data in AVI format that was
defined by Microsoft. This format stores data (i.e.
video and audio) as a single video stream and 1-4
audio streams to store DV data. It offers wider
compatibility, but uses an older compression than
Type I. This format requires slightly more processing
time to split the video/audio stream while capturing.
