DVD-Video is a consumer video format used to store digital video on DVD discs, and is currently the dominant consumer video format in Canada, Europe and Australia.^[4] Discs using the DVD-Video specification require a DVD drive and a MPEG-2 decoder (e.g., a DVD player, or a DVD computer drive with a software DVD player). Commercial DVD movies are encoded using a combination of MPEG-2 compressed video and audio of varying formats (often multi-channel formats as described below). The typical data rate for DVD video is 7 Mbit/s on average. The bit rate is usually adaptive so spot-samples of the bit rate are expected to deviate from the average. (More on Wikipedia)
