Abstract: The realization of Digital Video (Versatile) Disk (DVD) requires an authoring system to process the video, audio, subpicture, and other program material before a disk can he made. Special DVD program material such as subhpicture and the functions of a new DVD authoring system are presented. The authoring system is composed of four functional elements: scenario converter, source encoder, premastering, and checker. The functions of these elements are described in the paper. The scenario converter element permits introduction of “navigation ” data to program material so the viewer may interact with and control program playback. The source encoder element utilizes various compressed and noncompressed coding methods to encode video, audio, and subpicture. The premastering process creates a data stream conforming to compression system and DVD format standards. Data stream checking includes playback emulation and verification of the data. DVD offers new presentation display functions such as multipoint of view selection, and “pan and scan ” picture area selection for wide screen programs. The authoring system permits these functions to be included in the DVD data. The authoring system employs a new rate control method for variable bit rate encoding that yields both best picture quality and optimal fit of all data on the DVD disk. A two-pass video encoding method has been developed to first analyze the program material and then optimize the variable bit rate (VBR) rate control during the final encoding process. The authoring system includes processes that thoroughly check and verify the data stream before it is recorded on the DVD disk.

bio
Neil Neubert earned a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teaneck, N. J., in 1967. He began his career designing monochrome closed circuit television cameras, circuits, and accessory products at Sylvania Commercial Electronics Division of GTE. Neubert then began a lengthy association with Philips Broadcast Equipment Corp. (formerly Norelco; today BTS), concentrating on the design and manufacture of broadcast color television cameras. He worked briefly as a staff engineer in the CBS Television Network Engineering Development Group, where he studied the application of television cameras to electronic cinematography and high-definition television. Neubert then provided corporate oversight and responsibility for design, installation, operations direction, and technical support of all audio-video systems in use throughout the entire company as senior director of video engineering at Warner Amex Cable Communications Corp. Neubert formerly was the manager of video recording products and currently is manager of advanced technology at JVC Professional Products Co. He is responsible for the assessment of advanced technologies and development of new products utilizing those technologies. He is a member of SMPTE, AES, and IEEE.
