DVDäänilevyissä

DVDäänilevyissä refers to audio content that is stored on a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD). While DVDs are primarily known for their video capabilities, they can also be used to store and play back audio. This can encompass various formats, including standard music albums, high-fidelity audio recordings, and even spoken-word content like audiobooks or radio plays. The storage capacity of a DVD is significantly larger than that of a CD, allowing for longer audio durations or higher quality audio files.

When referring to audio on DVD, it's important to distinguish between different types. For instance, "DVD-Audio" was a specific format designed for high-quality audio playback, offering superior sound fidelity compared to CDs. However, it did not achieve widespread adoption. More commonly, audio might be included as part of a video DVD, such as soundtrack recordings accompanying a film, or it could be data files of music compressed in formats like MP3 stored on a DVD-ROM. The playback of audio from a DVD requires a compatible DVD player, which can decode the data and output the sound. The versatility of DVD technology meant that audio could be integrated in various ways, from standalone audio discs to supplementary content on video releases.
