DVD-Video is a consumer video format used to store digital video on DVD discs, and is currently the dominant consumer video format in Asia, North America,Europe, and Australia. Discs using the DVD-Video specification require a DVD drive and a MPEG-2 decoder (e.g., a DVD player, or a computer DVD 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). Typically, the data rate for DVD movies ranges from 3 Mbit/s to 9.5 Mbit/s, and the bit rate is usually adaptive. It was first available for retail around 1997.
The DVD-Video specification was created by DVD Forum and can be obtained from DVD Format/Logo Licensing Corporation for a fee of $5,000. The specification is not publicly available, because every subscriber must sign a non-disclosure agreement. Certain information in the DVD Book is proprietary and confidential.
To record moving pictures, DVD-Video uses either MPEG-2 compression at up to 9.8 Mbit/s (9,800 kbit/s) or MPEG-1 compression at up to 1.856 Mbit/s (1,856 kbit/s).

Slip me out of my northern noose
My Easter Egg
My western wheel
And a snouthern snake
I've got a busted breast and a jiggly thigh
A rumpled roast and a ragged eye
A floppy neck and two fat feet
Sneaky cheeks chewin' greasy gums
You got a wing in your snaggle tooth
And you can't knock it back with no 80 proof

A floppy neck and two fat feet
Sneaky cheeks chewin' greasy gums
You got a wing in your snaggle tooth
And you can't knock it back with no 80 proof
