Is an upscaling DVD player going to give better pictures from 480 or 576 DVD discs?

Standard definition discs with 480 or 576 lines of data are limited resolution. Using an upconverter or scaler to increase the signal resolution to 720 or 1080 cannot add any more resolution. In fact, any scaler will reduce the image quality slightly rather than enhance it. However, all LCD and plasma screens have internal scalers to convert the incoming signal to the native resolution of the screen itself. Most LCD televisions have a native resolution that is not the same as broadcast resolution. 768, 900 and 1024 lines are common and no broadcast signal use those line counts. Now, as scalers have different performance characteristics, it may be the case that an external scaler can give better results than a TV's internal scaler. This could well be the case if the external scaler can convert to the TV's native resolution. If the external scaler can only convert to 1080, for example, and the television's native resolution is 1024, there will be two conversions happening, each with their own slight loss of quality. Therefore, the answer to the question depends on the television's resolution, the output of the external scaler and the quality of the scaler being used.

What is the difference between a DVD MP3 and simple CD drive?

To answer your questions one at a time: 1) The main (and obvious) difference between a MP3 format and a DVD format is how the format store data. MP3 (or better known as MPEG Layer 3) was first created by the Fraunhoffer Institute as a method of compressing audio files and streams into a much smaller size, but maintaining its bitrate (measured by Kilobytes per second, or Kbps). As opposed to MP3, DVD is a revolutionary compression method that involves videos encoded into digital format at extremely high resolution. This explains why DVD quality is far more superior than MPEG or VideoCD (VCD) encoding. Futhermore, DVD allows host of other features to be added into the disc, such as special features, subtitles, sound options etc. To put it in a more simpler term, MP3 = Audio only ; DVD = Video + Audio at high res. 2)To understand the basics of optical drives, one must know the difference of the discs used for the drive. In a more simple enough explanation, a CD-ROM drive is capable of reading CDs of these format: - CD-ROM discs - CD-R discs - CD-RW discs - VideoCD discs (with third party player software installed) - MP3 discs - Audio CD A DVD drive, on the other hand, has the capability to read all of the above format, plus: - DVD Movie discs - DVD-R discs - DVD+RW discs Note: Both of these drives only have the ability to read the contents inside the discs. They do not, however, have the ability to write data onto the discs.

What dazzle DVD recorder records in black and white?

None to my knowledge. But you can just add an effect to make it black and white like in windows movie maker or sony vegas.

What does it mean to be encoding when making a DVD?

There are several kinds of encoding involved in producing a DVD. First of all, in most cases, the video and audio content of the movie, or other subject of the DVD, preexists in analog form (although this is becoming less common). Since DVDs are a digital recording medium, the content must be encoded in digital form. This is done with an analog to digital converter, an electronic device which, logically enough, accepts analog input and produces a digitized version of that input at its output. At a sublevel to the above, various kinds of special audio encoding, such as Dolby Stereo, may also be employed. While it would be theoretically possible to record the digital signals thereby produced directly onto the DVD, a second step is normally employed. The second encoding step, then, is called "compression". In compression, various mathematical algorithms are applied to the digital data (either in a computer or in specialized digital hardware) to reduce the number of bytes that the data will take up on the DVD. This allows the DVD to contain a longer (possibly much longer) amount of material. There are two types of compression: lossless and lossy. The latter results in more space savings, but degrades the picture and sound to a greater degree. A third type or class of encoding that might be employed is called encryption. This is yet another set of digital algorithms that scramble or encode the data to restrict access to authorized users or classes of players.
