Disc, is the next generation of optical disc
storage technology. It is essentially an
optical disc that can hold video as well as
audio and computer data. This new
optical disc can reach a capacity of up to
24 times the capacity of a CD-ROM and
encompasses pre-recorded read only
discs like DVD-Video, DVD-ROM,
DVD Types and Formats
A DVD consists of two halves, where each half disc
is 0.6 mm thick, holding one or two layers of informa-
tion. The DVD format provides multiple configurations
of data layers. Each layer provides additional data

The Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is the logical successor
of the Compact Disc (CD). Moreover, due to the high
data storage capacity this disc has also become the
data medium for the film-industry. It has been deve-
loped throughout the nineties, but is only now coming
into prominence. In spite of the DVD having a much
higher data storage capacity (between 7 and 24 times)
than the CD, both look the same. The main difference
between DVD and CD consists of the shorter wave-
length of the laser light, which reads the information.

The picture above clearly shows the difference in the
structure of CDs (left) and DVDs (right). (Pictures were
taken by microscope)
From the production point of view there is a big diffe-
rence between CD and DVD due to the multi-layer tech-
nology. DVDs consist of two polycarbonate discs (each
0,6 mm thick), which are bonded together. This adhe-
ring process is one of the critical production steps since
the laser has to ”read through” the adhesive. Sony
DADC Austria AG have developed their own process
throughout years of trial and step-by-step improvement
to its final high reliable and very fast production route.
Based on the well proven experience in the world
of CD Production, Sony DADC Austria AG has played a
very important role in the field of the development for
the right process of DVD-production.
Because of the fine structure the DVD is able to store
huge amount of data, much more than CDs. Moreover,
the DVD can also be produced with up to four layers
(shown on the following pictures).
There are four main sizes of DVDs:
The DVD 5 is big enough to accommodate 130 min
of movie with one audio stream. To add special
features like interviews of actors, special scenes such
as ”The Making Of” or more than one audio stream, it is
recommended to use a DVD 9.
• DVD 5
• DVD 9
(4,7 GigaByte)
(8,5 GigaByte)
• DVD 10 (9,4 GigaByte)
• DVD 18 (17,1 GigaByte)
The DVD 9 is big enough to store one film of about 130
min playtime with up to eight languages and an addi-
tional 35 mm approximately of bonus material.
Alternatively, one film with one language, but a playtime
of about 5 hours can be stored.
However if you have generated your content Sony
DADC Austria AG will be happy to find the right DVD for
you.

to offer the MiniDVD, which is a DVD with a diameter of
8 cm. The MiniDVD can accommodate up to 1,46
GigaByte on a single layer or up to 2,66 GigaByte using
the dual layer technology.

However, the two most commonly used DVDs are the
DVD 5 and DVD 9. These single sided discs bring a
maximum of comfort to the home-cineast combined
with high data storage capatility.
In the field of movie business, the purpose of DVD 5 is
more or less to substitute VHS – formats and to
increase the comfort of watching movies at home,
combined with high durability.
From the production’s point of view, there are several
procedures necessary. Firstly, the so-called ”glass
master” has to be produced. After a special developer
(photo-lacquer) has been applied onto a glass-plate,
the microstructure for the DVD has to be burned by
a special laser writer. Subsequently this glass master
is coated by nickel to get a nickel foil with the micro-
structure.
The removed nickel-layer (called father) could already
be used as a stamper in the replication machines.
But for trough-put reasons, copies (stamper) have to
be made with the help of a negative-print of the father
(which is called mother). Afterwards these few stampers
are used in die-casting machines to produce 0,6 mm
thick polycarbonate discs, which have the final
structure of the DVD. To be readable by a laser light,
these polycarbonate discs have to be coated by
reflective layers. Consequently aluminum is sputtered
onto the polycarbonate substrate containing the right
information.

Since DVD10 and DVD 18 are read from both sides,
there is the disadvantage of having to turn these DVDs
in most of the players. Additionally, there must not be
large prints on the top or bottom side (due to legibility).
Only small printing areas are allowed (please find
detailed information in chapter 4 of this manual).
Within the next production step two discs are bonded
together to get the final thickness of 1,2 mm. But
because of the one layer data structure of the DVD 5,
only the bottom disc contains information. The top disc
is just a plain disc with no information.
1.2 DVD 5
The DVD 5 is a ”Single Layer Single Side” Digital
Versatile Disk (DVD), with a storage capability of
4,7 GigaByte. This capacity is sufficient to record a
130 minute long movie with one audio stream.
Finally there is one disc with one readable layer
and a thickness of 1,2 mm with a data-volume of max.
4.7 GigaByte.
The picture below shows the principal structure of a
DVD 5. As it can be seen, there is just one layer, which
is read from one side.
1.3 DVD 9
The DVD 9 is a ”Dual Layer Single Side” Digital
Versatile Disc (DVD), with a storage capability of 8,5
GigaByte. In fact, both layers are read from one side.
Due to the ”Through-Reading-Process” the data-struc-
ture of the second layer is a little bigger, which causes
less capacity than on the first layer. Therefore the total
ability is given with 8,5 GigaByte and not twice the
capacity of a DVD 5 (which is 4,7 GigaByte x2 and
would be equal to 9,5 GigaByte).

The DVD 5 is to be named ”The entrance of the World
of DVD”. Its capacity is clearly higher (approximately

far behind in the real DVD-possibilities (accomodating
up to seventeen GigaByte.

titles without features, like different languages, scenes
of ”The Making Of”, actor interviews, various camera
positions or interactive movies.

1. General and Technology
However, this capability is sufficient to record a
130 min long movie with more languages using
”Dolby‚ Surround System” plus special features like
different camera positions, ”The Making Of” scenes,
interviews and other fascinating benefits with a length
of about 35 minutes. If only just one audio stream is
applied, about 5 hours movie playtime could be acco-
modated on the DVD 9. Nevertheless, if you have not
decided which DVD fits your demands, Sony DADC
Austria AG is very happy to choose the right size for
you. The choice will be based on the data you are sub-
mitting.
This is acceptable due to the fact that the data is not
stored within one constant stream, but in sectors and
segments.
From the production’s point of view, the DVD 9 produc-
tion route is quite similar to the DVD 5 production route.
The differences are that one disc is sputtered with
silicon instead of aluminum and that the second disc
has a data-structure as well as being sputtered with
aluminum. Afterwards these two ”half”-discs are
adhered to each other. The highly sophisticated adhe-
ring process itself is critical, since the laser beam has to
read through the first layer. However, Sony DADC
Austria AG is pleased to guarantee the highest quality
of DVD 9 by using proven technology and best practice
to avoid production defects. Since Sony DADC Austria
AG is one of the first replication centers in Europe, they
employ highly trained workmanship. Processes are
often tested to assure the best quality within the shor-
test delivery times.
As it is clearly drawn on the picture below, the DVD 9 is
employing the dual layer technology. The first reflection
layer is a semi reflection layer made of Silicon (~20% of
the light is reflected), whereas Aluminum is used for the
second and fully reflective layer.

1.4 DVD 10
The player self-focuses the right layer automatically,
which cannot be realized by the home-cineast or com-
puter-freak. From the consumer’s point of view, it is
hard to tell if a DVD 9 or a DVD 5 is employed because
they look very similar. The DVD 9 (dual-layer-DVD) can
be read by every DVD-Player and is state of the art
technology.
The DVD 10 is a ”Single Layer Dual Side” Digital
Versatile Disk (DVD), with a storage capability of
9,4 GigaByte. This capacity corresponds to twice the
data-volume on a DVD 5. A disadvantage of the DVD 10
is that it is read from both sides.
From the technology’s point of view, two different
reading processes can be employed. Sony DADC
Austria AG uses the Dual Layer Opposite Track Path
(OTP) for DVD-Video to ensure a smooth running movie.

The picture above shows the principal structure of a
DVD 10. As it can be seen, there is just one full reflec-
tive layer per side, which is read from each side.
Dual Layer Parallel Track Path (PTP)
Due to the fact that only few players in the market have
the capability to read from both sides, it is very incon-
venient for users to turn the DVD over while the movie
or programm is running. Additionaly, it is also not pos-
sible to use any side of the DVD for large prints either,
since the laser reads from both sides (for further infor-
mation please see chapter 4 of this document).

Compared to the DVD 9, the additional capacity of the
DVD 10 is about 900 MegaByte (just a little more than
the capacity of one CD) but the disadvantages may
increase, depending on your application.
The stampers are made during the same process as
the DVD 5. After the polycarbonate discs have been
produced in the die-casting machines, the first layer
has been built up by the polycarbonate. This layer is
sputtered with silicon (like it was with the DVD 9 for the
first layer with approximately 20% reflection). Then a
special developed liquid UV resin is applied onto the
silicon layer. Then another stamper containing the pit
pattern (information) for the second layer is pressed
onto the applied liquid. After the liquid resin has dried,
Aluminum is sputtered onto this information-layer and a
special adhesive is applied, which glues two similar
fabricated discs together. Finally, there are four layers of
information and roughly 17,1 GigaByte of data. Since
the DVD 18 has little application, Sony DADC does not
offer this niche-product.
One reasonable application may have the same content
on Side A and on Side B but in different formats, like
one in PAL (Phase Alteration Line) and one in NTSC
(National Television Systems Committee).
From the production’s point of view, the DVD 10 is very
similar to the DVD 5, with the only difference being that
both discs do contain data and they are adhered back
to back. Both reflective layers are made of aluminum.
1.5 DVD 18
This ”Dual Layer Dual Side” Digital Versatile Disc
(DVD) has a maximum data capacity of about 17,1
GigaByte. This is exactly twice the capacity of a DVD 9.
1.6 MiniDVD
The MiniDVD is the small DVD for the big ideas.
Compared to normal DVDs (diameter of 12 cm), this
DVD has a diameter of only 8 cm. There are two diffe-
rent kinds of MiniDVD: The ”Single Layer Single Side”
DVD which holds approximately 40 minutes of film (1.46
GigaByte) and the ”Dual Layer Single Side” DVD with
approximately 75 minutes of film-material (2.66 Giga-
Byte).

The picture above shows the principal structure of a
DVD 18. As it can be seen, there are two layers per
side, one semi-reflective and one fully reflective similar
to the DVD 9.
In terms of handling, this kind of DVD does have the
same disadvantages as the DVD 10. Due to the fact
that only a few players in the market have the capability
to read from both sides, it is very inconvenient for users
to turn the DVD over while the movie or programm is
running. In addition to this inconvenience it is also not
possible to use any side of the DVD for large prints
since the laser reads from both sides (for further infor-
mation please see chapter 4 of this document).
This MiniDVD is the ”little sister” of the conventional
DVD. With the main difference being its smaller size, it
is much more convenient to send via the post and the-
refore the ideal ”transport-media” for promotion mate-
rial such as corporate videos, multimedia presentations,
film trailers and more. It has roughly twice the capacity
of a CD-Rom but being much lighter and more attrac-
tive through the special appearance.
From the production point of view, the DVD 18 is the
most complicated disc.
Therefore the MiniDVD is the real product for
Promotions and Company Presentations.
From the production point of view, there is not a big
difference to the 12 cm DVDs apart from the different
diameter.

1.7 ColourDVD
The ColourDVD by Sony DADC Austria AG is available
in six different colours. The bright red, yellow and violet
are real eye catchers, whereas the three discrete
colours (orange, pink and gold) are designed for subtle
applications. Regardless of the specific colour used,
the real thrill of the ColourDVD is the special appea-
rance of the former silver disc. Sony DADC Austria AG
is proud to have developed this special look, which
brings out different moods. Apart from different emo-
tions, the ColourDVDs are well suited to resemble
various themes.
Technically speaking, the secret behind the ColourDVD
is coloured polycarbonate. Throughout many trials
Sony DADC Austria AG found the right colours with
the right tint, which can be used without loosing
application-quality.
Moreover, since the perfume is mixed with the label-
print, it is also possible to get your own aroma onto
the disc.
Of course the perfume has to fulfill certain require-
ments, such as
• It must not be water soluble
• Minimum 20 ml of perfume oil is needed for
capsule-check (which takes about 3 to 4 days within
Sony DADC Austria AG).
• For the production a minimum of 1 litre (1 kg) of
perfume oil is needed (even if a DVD sample
production is ordered), which will be sufficient to
produce approximately 30,000 discs if 100% of the
DVD-top-surface is covered.
In case you supply your own scent, please keep in
mind that, Sony DADC Austria AG needs about 3 to 4
weeks to produce the scent-capsules needed to mix
the aroma with the colours. For the standard order turn-
around time you can assume that it takes an additional
3 to 4 days (depending on the order size).
1.8 SniffleDVD
Since Sony DADC Austria AG has already been produ-
cing the SniffleCD, there was no major development
step necessary in applying this to the SniffleDVD.
The aroma can be placed on all or parts of the label
print of the DVD 5 and DVD 9. Technically speaking, the
unique scents are mixed to the colour of the prints and
are released by rubbing the label. The duration of
the scent of the SniffleDVD lasts for about one year.
Sony DADC Austria AG is pleased to be able to offer
the five most popular aromas from stock, which are
rose, strawberry, green apple, lemon and mint. In addi-
tion to these standard scents, a further 95 aromas are
available (like chocolate, coffee, vanilla, different fruits,
or technical scents, etc).

2.1 General
DVD-Video is a new media for the distribution of home
videos. The digital nature of this new media offers
several new features to the consumer.
Amongst these features are:
2.3 Details on DVD
Authoring Possibilities
• High video quality based on MPEG2 compression
and the ability to playback both aspect ratios of 4:3
and 16:9.
• A DVD-Video can hold up to 8 different audio tracks
(streams). Each track can be used for a different
language. It can also be utilized for high quality
stereo audio with a resolution of 16 bit and 48 kHz, or
for theatre quality surround audio, like Dolby Digital
AC-3 or multichannel 5.1.
• Up to 32 different streams of subtitles can be placed
on a DVD-Video, used as language subtitles, as
menu highlights or as instructions for interactive
functions.
2.3.1 Video
DVDs can be produced for both PAL and NTSC video
standards. The aspect ratio of the source material can
either be 4:3 or 16:9. The viewer has the choice of
several output options on most players, according to
the monitor. For example, in the case of a widescreen
source the viewer can select between letterboxed and –
if encoded during authoring – pan/scan playback on
a 4:3 screen.
• Digital copy protection via CSS and analogue copy
protection via Macrovision.
• Multibranching is another feature of DVD-Video that
simply offers the possibility to playback one title with
different parts of this title, which can be interactively
selected by the viewer. In addition, the multiangle
option allows a scene of a movie title to be viewed in
different angles.
2.3.2 Audio
A DVD may contain up to eight different soundtracks,
for example a feature film in different languages, each of
which can be in one of the following formats:
• Most of the DVD-Video players imply a region code
corresponding to one of the six regions in the world
where it is sold. This regional coding optionally ena-
bles playback of a DVD-Video title in certain regions
only.
• DVD-Video discs can be prepared with a ”Parental
Lock” in order to restrict the playback only by usage
of a correct password.
• Linear PCM mono or stereo
(equivalent to the CD format)
• DTS (Digital Television Standard)
• MPEG1 mono or stereo
• MPEG2 multichannel
• Dolby Digital AC-3 mono,
stereo or multichannel 5.1
Any stereo track can be encoded Dolby Pro Logic
Surround, to extend the compatibility with existing
home entertainment equipment.
Please note that this encoding is not implemented
during DVD premastering, but has to be completed
during preparation of the mastertape.
The sampling frequency on a DVD is 48 kHz.
2.2 Input media
for DVD-Video
2.3.3 Subpictures
Subpictures can be keyed into the videosignal and are
used for several applications on the disc, for example:
Sony DADC prefers a DLT4000 or (DLT7000/DLT8000)
format as standard input source. The tape should be
recorded in DDP 2.0. If different systems are applied
(such as e.g. ”DLT 1” or ”HP V80”), reading problems
will occur. If you have no adequate DLT-recorder please
send the content on DVD-R (Remark: a DVD-R can only
be used if a DVD 5 is replicated; if a DVD 9 is to be
pressed, there is no other way than a DLT.)
• as menu highlights
• as logo
• as instructions for an interactive function
• for language subtitling, display of karaoke
lyrics etc.

2. DVD-Video
Please note that there are technical restrictions for
seamless playback in the creation of multiple alter-
natives. For example, the playtime variation of the
different alternatives within one block is limited.
Due to the complexity of these features, please contact
us at +43/(0)6246/880-1610 or visit our Web-Page:
”www.sonydvdcenter.com”
2.3.4
Subtitels
Subtitle companies are usually capable of handling
subtitles in almost any language. They usually require a
VHS copy of the program master with VITC or LTC time
code and preferably with a visual TC at the top of the
picture as well as a script of the dialog or lyrics.
2.3.8
Parental Lock
2.3.5
Still Pictures
DVD Video Discs can be coded with a number from
1-5. DVD Players can only playback DVDs with a code
number lower than the password protected code set on
the player.
Still pictures can be utilized as a background for menus
in full colour and full resolution, or as a still/slide show.
2.3.6
Regional Coding
2.3.9
Multiangle
Most DVD players imply a certain code, which
corresponds to one of the six defined regions where
they are sold. Such a code, or several codes, can be
applied to the discs. However, the number of both the
player and the disc must match in order to enable disc
playback.
Multiangle allows the creation of different viewing alter-
natives within the same contents of a title. Using this
feature the user can select between different camera
views ”on the fly”.
If regional code ”0” is applied, this DVD can be played
on every DVD-Player – no matter which regional code is
adjusted.
2.3.10
Aspect Ratio
The video source material may be either of 4:3 or 16:9
anamorphic aspect ratio. Please define the correspon-
ding parameter on the Mastertape Info.
To maintain the maximum vertical resolution, 16:9
anamorphic is preferred for widescreen sources.
However, the aspect ratio must be constant within one
title of a DVD, otherwise different titles will have to be
created on the disc.
2.3.11
Audio Masters
All audio masters must be recorded with 48kHz sam-
pling rate, Linear PCM according to AES/EBU standard.
The use of emphasis is not recommended. For Mono-,
Stereo- or encoded Dolby ProLogic programs the audio
tracks of the video mastertape should be used. As
these mastertapes contain four audio tracks, a max-
imum of four different versions in mono or two stereo
soundtracks can be provided with the videotape.
The video and audio parts of the mastertape must be
synchronised.
2.3.7
Multibranching
The DVD offers the function of playing alternative
blocks with different contents within one title. Using this
feature, different versions of a movie can be created.
For example, it would be possible to create a movie
which consists of an identical main block and an end
block with two alternatives, enabling the user to choose
between a happy or perhaps a tearful end. In general, it
will be useful to set the changeover of such blocks mat-
ching chapter points, if chapter points exist.

2.3.12.2 Backgrounds
When designing backgrounds, six major issues need to
be addressed. These are Image Size, Safe Area, Colour
Depth, Interlacing, File Format and Naming Convention.
audio programs
For DVDs with digital multichannel sound, a separate
audio mastertape is required for each soundtrack.
These should be of either Sony PCM-3324 format,
Sony PCM-800 format or equivalent and must contain
the final mix of the 5.1 channels – front left, front right,
left surround, right surround, centre low frequency
channel – as discrete tracks. The encoding of these
tracks to the specified digital multichannel datastream
is carried out during the DVD premastering process.
2.3.12.3 Image Size
Computer pixels have an aspect ratio of 1:1. However,
NTSC pixels are 0.9:1 and PAL pixels are 1.0667:1. This
discrepancy causes the menu background to look dis-
torted when exported to D-1 video; NTSC D-1 menus
are compressed horizontally and PAL D-1 menus are
compressed vertically. The menus should be distorted
at design time to counter the effects of TV distortion.
For NTSC the menus should be pre-compressed verti-
cally and for PAL, the menus should be pre-com-
pressed horizontically. To accomodate PAL and NTSC
requirements and to compensate for these known dis-
tortions, the menus for NTSC should be designed
at 720x540 pixels and for PAL at 768x576 pixels.
For NTSC, resize the image to a height of 480 pixels,
keeping the width at 720 and for PAL, resize the image
to a width of 720, keeping the height at 576. At this
point the menus will look distorted on a computer
screen, but this will be compensated for when they are
exported to D-1 or DigiBeta.
2.3.12.1 General
Menus are the key to navigation on a DVD disc. They
allow the user to locate any chapter point on the disc,
change the language for the movie or display subtitles
in any of the languages provided.
Basic menu structure:
Sony DCE has all the equipment and skills required
to prepare menu screens from scratch or by using refer-
ences such as existing artwork (e.g. LD or VHS packa-
ging) for graphics, movie captures for animations, 3D
modelling, Internet convergence, eCommerce integra-
tion and other multimedia applications for DVD.
We therefore will readily accept your order to design the
menu screens for you.

Interlacing
2.3.19
Image Size
(Flicker/Jitter)
Each highlight on any page should be contained in
its own separate TIFF file. Each image should only
be as big as the text or graphic itself and should not
have any white space around the graphic. It should
also be big enough to include the registration mark.
Please make sure to always supply two images of
the same dimensions per highlight, one with and
one without registration mark.This allows closer pla-
cement of highlights on the page, as highlight files
cannot overlap in a DVD menu.
A video frame is made up of two video fields. These two
fields are interlaced and each contains half of the infor-
mation required to display the frame. Due to timing
drifts in video equipment, the two fields do not interlace
perfectly causing the flicker/jitter commonly seen on
sharp edges and fine lines.
This is more evident in horizontal lines than vertical.
This problem is not evident on computer displays
because they are usually non-interlaced.
To avoid these flicker/jitter problems, thin (e.g. single
pixel) horizontal lines should be avoided and the overall
image should be blurred, using either gaussian or other
suitable methods.
One file that contains all the highlights for a page
should also be provided. The colour depth and file
format for this file should be the same as the other
highlight files. Sample below.
2.3.16
File Format
The preferred file formats for menu background delivery
are uncompressed TIFF or as video on a separate tape.
If the artwork is made in Adobe Photoshop, it must be
saved in PC format with no compression. Some gra-
phics packages save an alpha channel with a 24bit file.
DO NOT save the alpha channel.
2.3.17
Naming Convention
For efficient and clear processing of the menu items, the
following naming convention should be applied:
2.3.18
Registration and

Menu
background
without…
To facilitate positioning and alignment of high-
lights/overlays on the backgrounds at Sony DADC,
a file with registration marks should also be supplied
with the main background file. This file should con-
tain clearly visible registration marks in addition to
artwork in the menu background file.
The registration marks can be of any type as long as
they are accurate to one pixel width and height. They
should also be of a colour that makes them stand out
from the background.
The accompanying highlights/overlays should have a
matching registration mark in a colour of the palette,
which has not yet been used. This is discussed in
detail later.

2.3.20
Colour Depth
The highlight must be an indexed, 8 bit, 256 color TIFF
file. Since DVD specifications allow 4 colours in a high-
light at any given time, even though this file has 256
colors in its palette, the actual graphic can only have
4 colours. One of these colours is keyed out to show
transparency. The remaining can be any three colours
in the spectrum. The figure below is a screen shot of
the palette of a highlight file. If you can’t access this
option in your graphic program, the file is probably not
indexed or has the wrong colour depth. Note that only
the first 4 colours of the palette are in use and the
remaining are blank. This is the only acceptable format
of the highlight palette.
The DVD specification also allows any menu page to
have a palette of 16 colours. This allows for different
”not highlighted state”, ”highlighted state” and ”acti-
vated state” colours. The figure below shows two
images, a ”highlighted state” and an ”activated state”.
Please note that the total number of colours (including
black and the registration mark) is more than four.
However, at any given time the image has only four
colours.
2.3.21
User Interface and
Delivery
2.3.21.1 Printouts
Colour printouts of all backgrounds must be provided
for reference. One printout should be provided to
demonstrate the effect of the highlighted state and one
to demonstrate the activated state. If these are diffe-
rent for the Main Menu, Audio Menu, Subtitle Menu,
Scene Selection Menus and Special Menus, then two
printouts must be provided for every unique colour
combination demonstrating both highlight and active
colours.
A hard copy of the text or PDF files should also be pro-
vided along with a printout of the disc contents.
2.3.21.2 Navigation
Non-standard navigation must be explained on paper
and a text or PDF file. For complex navigation, it will be
necessary to contact Sony SDCE.

3. DVD-Rom
The ISO 9660 (level 1) file structure is limited to the cha-
3.1 Data Preparation
racters ”A-Z”, ”0-9” and ” ” (underscore) with a
–
maximum of 8 characters in length and 3 characters
extension and a maximum of 8 directory levels (inclu-
ding the root directory).
The first step in formatting is the collection and prepa-
ration of the input materials. You can submit already
formatted data as an image on tape or leave the for-
matting of your data to us. Unformatted data on sto-
rage media, as well as backup formats on tape or
unformatted data transmitted via ISDN, first have to be
converted into a DVD-ROM compatible format. Please
note that these additional process steps take more time
and are more expensive. In order to arrange the data in
a required sequence, please provide a detailed listing of
the file and directory structure of the final DVD-ROM.
To avoid the restrictions of ISO 9660 level 1 and to use
longer file names, level 2/3 can also be used. These
levels restrict filenames to 30 characters and directory
names to 31 characters.
Joliet extension:
To meet the demand for Windows 95 file names, there
was an extension designed called Joliet format. This file
system allows longer file and directory names than ISO
9660 level 1 as well as level 2/3, where file or directory
Identifiers may be up to 64 characters.
If you submit a tape, please inform us whether there is
a DVD image or a backup format on this tape.
According to chapter 3.3. (image on tape) we are able
to achieve shorter turnaround times for your orders and
limit premastering costs as long as there is an already
formatted DVD image on tape.
Apple Macintosh formatting
Apple Mac data are acceppted for DVD-ROM format-
ting. However, all data should be provided on a Mac
formatted media.
When sending hard disks or exchange discs please let
us know the number of files and the data quantity. Pack
your data carrier carefully to avoid damage during
transportation. Moreover, we ask you to mark your
input carriers. Please be sure to use adequate fibre
pens which do not damage the surface of the disc, par-
ticularly with DVD-R.
3.3 Input Media
DVD-ROM images on tape
Sony DADC will accept ANSI labelled DVD-ROM
images either on DLT or SDX tape. We strongly
recommend that any tape compression is turned off.
The DVD Data Sector size can be 2048, 2054 or 2064
Bytes/Sector.
3.2 Formatting
Sony DADC formats data according to the UDF-Bridge
(UDF + ISO 9660) standard:
UDF-Bridge Format:
The DDP (level 2.00) is either to be placed at the front
of the tape followed by the DVD Leading-data and the
DVD Image or on a separate Floppy Disk.
Is a new logical format for volume and file structure on
DVD-ROM discs to support the interchange of informa-
tion between a computer system and dedicated DVD
drives or players.
The image is subjected to a logical incoming UDF-
check and can be used for direct mastering.
UDF-Bridge also stands for a combination between the
Universal Disc Format (ISO/IEC 13346) and the ISO
9660 standard.
Through the naming and file structure of UDF, the UDF
file system is much more powerful than the file structure
of ISO 9660.
However, the UDF-Bridge combines both the UDF and
ISO 9660 formats. Therefore the file structure has to
meet the ISO-9660 designation agreement.

DVD-ROM, DVD-R
Electronic data transmission:
An already replicated DVD-ROM or a DVD-R (Authoring,
General) is a preferred input media, and can be used for
direct mastering.
For a shorter transmission of components to Sony
DADC, we offer efficient data links via:
- ISDN primary rate interface – E1/T1
- WAM!NET managed or tracked services
(www.wamnet.com)
DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW
The data can be sent either as a DVD-ROM image or as
single files and directories.
Data provided on DVD-RW, +RW or DVD-RAM can not
be used for direct mastering. They need to be formatted
according to the 'UDF-bridge format' which can be
done by Sony DADC. Please understand that this addi-
tional formatting job will be charged to customers.
If you are interested in using this kind of component
transmission for your CD/DVD contents or the graphic
data for label printing and packaging artwork, please
get in touch with us. We will be pleased to assist you in
establishing an electronic connection with us.
Apple Macintosh/DOS SCSI Harddisk Drive
Please send us only a DOS or Apple Macintosh for-
matted hard disk drive.
A description of the file and directory structure of the
final DVD-ROM, as well a Volume id/name should be
included.

4. Labelprinting
We recommend to put the product specification
logo (DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-VIDEO) on every
piece of packaging and labels. This ensures your
customer using a product which complies with
the DVD-Specifications. Sony DADC requires the
customer to place the product catalogue number
on the DVD and on every piece of the packaging.
The following pages contain important
specifications for DVD printing and the film
material required.
Please transmit this information to your
graphics artist or designer.
4.1 Printing Processes
Sony DADC uses offset printing processes for DVDs as
the standard print. On special request, simple screen
prints can be done as well.
The following types of print can be processed:
• line prints with up to 4 colours
(3 colours for DVD-10)
• half-tone prints
• duplex and triplex prints
• Four-colour prints
(picture disc: offset/screen printing)
For particular requirements with respect to printing
quality in four-colour print, we offer the High Definition
Picture Disc. This is to be recommended particularly for
applications including photographs, faces, landscapes
or designs which are similar to photographs.
A specific offset process is used.
4.2 Printing Areas
The following pages illustrate the three possible printing
areas on a DVD label (specifications F, G and H).
Please bear in mind that there may be colour deviations
between the print on the aluminium coated part and the
non-aluminium coated interior parts. Therefore, we
advise to preprint an entire white base to minimize
colour deviations with specifications F, G, H.
4.3 Label Film Dimensions
Please ensure that your label films comply with the
required specifications F to H. Any necessary label film
corrections are charged according to our price list.

Please note that with serif type fonts (e.g. Times)
and with type faces such as ”light” with letter sizes
of 4 and/or 5 pt. the minimum line width of 0.10 and
0.15 mm is not achieved and thus an adequately larger
letter size has to be selected.
4.4 Film Specifications

may be colour differences compared to the printwork
(paper/carton). If you need absolute confirmity of
colours of printed matter (printwork) and the DVD label
print, we advise you to preprint a full white base on the
DVD.
For duplex and triplex prints please use the following
angle codes: 0°, 15°, 45° or 75°. With other angle codes
a ‘moiré-free print’ is not provided.
For Picture and/or High Definition Picture Disc printing,
Sony DADC can prepare four-colour separation/litho

A catalogue number has to be printed on the DVD.
4.5.2
DVD logo
Generally speaking it is recommended to put the DVD
logo onto the DVD. However, if the DVD logo is placed
on the DVD, the disc must comply to the DVD-Speci-
fications. In accordance to the specifications, the DVD
logo should be seen clearly on the disc. Therefore, it has
to be shown in the highest possible contrast, i.e. the
contrast between the logo and the background colour
must not be less than 50%.
Contrast between DVD logo and background not admissible
4.5.3
”Made in EU”
A designation of origin is not necessary on the DVD.
However, if such designation is requested, it has to be
”Made in EU”.
4.5.4.
Side Indication
For DVD 10 Sony DADC recommends to indicate the
Front and the Back Side of the DVD with ”Side A” and
”Side B”. This simplifies the handling of the DVD for end
consumers.

specification

Deviations from the standardised DVD logo are not permitted. The DVD logo must not be distorted, squeezed, decom-
posed, framed or composed of parts with different colours.
4.6 Colours
Sony DADC uses the Pantone Matching System (PMS).
When producing your films, please note that a base of
polycarbonate with a reflective aluminium coating is
printed and therefore colour deviations may occur.
Please mark each label film with the Pantone colour
number requested by you. Please select your colour
from the Pantone Colour Selector 1000, except for
double impression (2x) colours.
To provide (as much as possible) a compliance of the
printwork colours (e.g. of booklets) with the DVD label
printing, we advise to preprint a full white base on the
DVD.
When using Pantone colours 801 to 814, preprinting
should be carried out with white colour in order to
achieve the luminescent effect similar to the Pantone
Colour Selector 1000.

Images/Illustrations
Besides the Quark layout, which has been used to
create the artwork/CD label, you have to include all
used fonts, scans, illustrations and logos. Additionally,
please add a brief text file stating the most important
information.
Please make sure that you save your images
(Photoshop) as a TIFF or EPS files.
Illustrations and logos should be made as EPS files.
You must not use JPEG compression.
Put all files which are related to the same release in one
folder. The folder must have a filename starting with the
release/selection number or the name of your customer
service representative.
All files must be clearly defined by their names for
example:
WARNING!
EPS files are great, but they also cause the most
problems when translating a piece of artwork to real
printwork.
Booklet cover
Booklet Innersection
Inlaycard
CD Label Spec A
Some simple guidelines prevent a lot of problems and
make production time much shorter and cheaper. Most
software with an EPS as output (like Illustrator or
Freehand) work with layers. The more layers you use,
the higher the chance of meeting problems, especially
when importing already made EPS files into another
EPS file. When creating logo-like illustrations where
fonts are used, always transform these fonts by crea-
ting an outline. This guarantees the exact positioning
and form of all elements.
So all components for one release are in one folder.
In this folder you will standard find the layout files, the
information text file plus two other folders:
1. Fonts:
2. Images:
The folder will contain all the FINAL used images
(scans, logo's, etc.)
Files to be saved:
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that all the images are
linked to the used Quark document with the same
names! This is necessary to avoid errors and extra time.
• One file with only the visible layers and the fonts
transferred to outlines. Check if some layers are
invisible but still in the artwork.
• Do not save 5th (fifth) or more channels to an image,
rip's cannot handle these images.
• A second file with all layers and fonts still in it, this
file can be used for corrections.
• Always put one illustration in an EPS
• Always put one image in a scan
• Always scan in 300 dpi (12 l/mm) for high res CMYK.
Resolution is always related to the final dimensions
of the image
5.4.3
Fonts
Always include all fonts which you have used to create
the job, even if you have used a font in an EPS which
has been transferred to an outline.
Always send the screenfonts and the printerfonts, pre-
ferrably using only PostScript Type1 fonts and not
TrueType fonts.
Please do not make separate folders in this folder!

5.4.6
Templates
5.4.5
Colours
Always make use of the Sony DADC templates. These
templates are conform with the final measurements of
all labels which are printed at DADC.
Used colours must always be CMYK and/or Pantone
colours.
Templates for CD-labels as well as for packaging art-
work can be downloaded from our internet homepage
Packaging artwork must be printers pairs for saddle
stitched booklets and single pages for perfect bound
booklets.
Please make sure that you never change the measure-
ments or the template descriptions, because this will
generate major problems for the final product.
You must not use RGB, Focoltone or even Pantone
Process, Prosim, Uncoated, etc.
Data should always include a reference to compare
with. When no laserprint, colour proof or digital soft
proof in PDF format is forwarded, be aware that DADC
has no tools to compare the final results to the deli-
vered artwork.
Printer Descriptions or PDs
Several functions on scanners and DTP software are
related to the characteristics of the final printing
machine, these are called PDs.
For now the world makes use of films which are used to
create printing plates for the printing machines.
All these PDs are related to the film, printing plate etc.
Now all these technologies are changing, so all our
work should be independent of these technologies.
5.4.7
Overview of the
most common
problems
• Fonts are not delivered with the files.
• Not standard file format (see 'IMAGES')
• Images in the quark document. have other names
than the original image
• Images are saved with JPEG compression
• Images with the wrong resolution (low)
• Images and logo's are not delivered
• Images are RGB instead of CMYK or Pantone
• There was no standard software used
• Wrong specifications used
What functions are in fact PDs?
Trapping
Trapping (Spread and Choke) is used because the now
used printing technology has problems with getting all
printing colours exactly in place.
UCR and PCR
UCR (Under Colour Removal) is used for getting
brighter colours with less ink, PCR is a more sophisti-
cated technology as UCR but has the same principle.
Black overprint
When putting a black text over a coloured background,
especially small fonts should not be cut out of the
background. This is called black overprint.
5.4.8
Tipp
Please always check your outgoing files and docu-
ments, because errors often occur while copying files
and documents from one digital carrier (desktop) to
another!
WARNING:
All these PDs should not be the concern of an Art
Director, but of the one who is actually making the print
work, so:
DO NOT MAKE USE OF THESE FUNCTIONS
Do not use trapping, unsharp masking, UCR or PCR,
only black overprint of small texts is OK.
DADC will take care of the quality of your labels.

the following items:
• Delivery according to agreement

The delivery of ready-made printwork should be
carried out only following previous agreement with
the Sony DADC Customer Service staff.
Different printwork (such as inlay cards and boo-
klets or various DVD titles) have to be delivered in
separated cartons.
• Printwork delivery

Your printwork delivery must comply with the
Sony DADC specifications (dimensions, paper
type and thickness, catalogue number, bar code,
designation of origin, perforation). Since packa-
ging is carried out automatically, please note that
non compliance with the specifications causes
unnecessary additional expenses and longer pro-
cessing time.
If possible, delivery should be carried out in car-
tons (see drawing page 35) adequately marked
(see label, sample carton).
• Delivery of stickers
Provide an adequate label on the carton (see
sample). Furthermore, the general Sony DADC
specifications for stickers shall apply.
Sony DADC reserve the right to charge additional
costs caused by sorting, manual packaging or the
return of the goods delivered.
• Storage
In the case that you deliver more printwork than
your DVD order and request storage, we ask you
to consult Customer Service.
Storage expenses will be settled monthly accor-
ding to the space required.
• Minimum quantity
The minimum quantity is 300. Due to start-up
losses as well as possible waste please add to
your delivery an additional 10% of printwork over
and above the number of DVDs ordered by you.

part of DADC’s Customer Manual for the specific product.
(2.2.2.) All orders from Customer to DADC must be in writing, and shall
be considered accepted if confirmed in writing by DADC.
Agreements, if any, with agents and/or representatives and other
agreements with Customers including legally binding promises or
deviations from the general terms and conditions will not be valid

(8.2.) DADC shall have the right to release itself from any claims for

Other Rights
(3.3.) DADC shall have the right to make part deliveries and advance
deliveries. A cancellation of orders by the Customer, although it

(4)
Place of Fulfilment and Passage of Risk
Customer declares to possess all rights for the purpose of
duplication, including the right of mechanical duplication, the
right to use certain film-, sound-, data- or other software recor-
dings etc. and he guarantees that all copyright fees and other
payable fees be paid to the owner of the rights or to the compe-
tent organizations representing the owners, and that no claims in
this respect will be raised against DADC. Customer shall indem-
nify DADC in all respects, in particular for claims raised by third
parties, including claims for copyright organizations or other
organizations, and for expenses arising from legal or court action
for asserted or factual violation of such rights. Such indemnifi-
cations shall include production cost, if any, incurred by DADC.
The Customer agrees that DADC will disclose that information on
individual orders to copyright utilization companies and other
organizations dealing with the protection of copyrights of any
kind, which is required by these companies for ensuring a proper
licence settlement and/or for the control of safeguarding any
copyrights.

part deliveries.
(4.3.) Except as otherwise provided herein, shipment and method of
shipment shall be exclusively determined by DADC. DADC shall
arrange for the transport and shall pay the cost of transport
packing as well as the cost of usual transport insurance for an
insurance value up to the amount of the relevant DADC invoice.
Other expenses, e.g. expenses for specific packing, extra cost
for individual consignments, freight charges, etc. shall be for
exclusive account of Customer. The Customer shall have to pay
all customs duties, sales taxes, border expenses etc. even if the
order for transport has been given by DADC.
(4.4.) In the event of delay of shipment caused by circumstances within
the responsibility of Customer, all risks including the risk of acci-
dental loss shall pass to the Customer at the time DADC gives
notice that the goods are ready for collection, i.e. at the time
such notice is sent by DADC. In the event of delay caused by
circumstances within the responsiblity of Customer, the
Customer will be charged storage cost of at least 5% per month
of the gross invoice value, beginning at the time DADC has given
notice that the goods are ready for shipment.
(12)

(5.1.) The prices agreed are understood ex DADC factory in A-5081
Anif/Austria, Sonystrasse 20, exclusive of sales tax (VAT).
All payments shall have to be made in cash, free of charges and
without deductions. Enforcement of counterclaims by setoff or by

(5.2.) Payments shall not be considered to discharge the debtor unless
made into DADC’s banking account, except as otherwise agreed
(e.g. payment by cheque).
(5.3.) All payments shall be first counted against the expenses (dun-
ning expenses, legal expense), then against interest accrued,
and finally against the capital, i.e. against the oldest outstanding
debt. Cheques and bills of exchange shall be accepted upon
special agreement only, and merely on account of payment, not
in lieu of payment. Cheques and bills of exchange shall be consi-
dered payment upon encashment, at the value date on which
they have been credited to DADC by the bank. DADC shall have
the right to refuse, without showing cause, any payment offered
by cheques or bills of exchange.
(12.4.) After 3 months Mastertapes (CD-R, U-Matic, etc.) will either be
scrapped or returned at customer’s request and expense.

The cost paid for by Customer for master and stamper produc-
tion merely include the services rendered by DADC in connection
therewith, while masters and stampers shall remain the property

upon completion of production. In case of a destruction, any
repeat order shall be considered a new order, with all costs con-
nected therewith.
(12.5.) Customer guarantees that DADC will only receive duplicates of
masters, label films and films for preparation of print materials.

Consequences of Delayed or Refused Performance
(6.1.) Even after having accepted an order, DADC shall also have the
right to refuse performance and/or delivery if, as a result of a
circumstance become known or arising also after the contract
has been concluded, there is fear that the Customer will be un-
able to fulfil his duties completely or in time or if the contents of
the film, sound, data or other software recordings given to DADC
for duplication violate laws or moral principles. Similarly, DADC
shall be entitled to refuse the acceptance of the order and/or the
delivery unless it is clear without doubt that the Customer dis-
poses of all rights for duplication of the recordings concerned.
(6.2.) Where the period allowed for payment has been exceeded,
Customer shall be considered to be in default, without that any
special notice has to be given by DADC. In such case DADC
shall have the right to cancel all periods allowed for payment - in-
cluding these for accepted bills - and to demand payment imme-
diately. In all cases of agreements on payment in instalments,
non-payment of any one instalment shall constitute default on
the part of Customer, to the extent permitted by law.
DADC and Customer agree that all disputes arising out of these
Terms and Conditions be referred to the courts having jurisdic-
tion in the province capital of Salzburg, waiving any other venue
of jurisdiction.
(12.9.) Additional agreements, information and complaints shall have to
be made in writing, and can be accepted only if sent to Sony
DADC Austria AG, A-5081 Anif/Austria, Sonystrasse 20, for the
attention of ”Customer Service”. Notices given to DADC
shall not be legally effective unless sent to such address.
