ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

DVD-Video

Alright little buddy, let me tell you about DVD-Videos! Do you know what DVDs are? They're like CDs, but they hold more information, like movies and TV shows.

A DVD-Video is a special kind of DVD that has a movie or TV show on it. Think of it like a little movie that you can put in your DVD player and watch on your TV.

Now, when you put a DVD-Video in your DVD player, it reads the information on the disc and plays the movie or TV show. But did you know that there's more to it than just the picture and sound?

There's something called "menu screens" that you can use to control what you want to watch. It's kind of like a map where you can choose which part of the movie you want to watch or if you want to watch special features like a behind-the-scenes look at how the movie was made.

But how does all of this information fit on one little disc? Well, it's all thanks to something called "compression". It's like a magic trick that makes the information smaller, so it can fit on the disc.

And when you want to watch it, your DVD player does another magic trick to un-compress the information so you can see and hear it.

So there you have it, DVD-Videos are movies and TV shows that you can watch on your TV from a little disc. And they have special menu screens and compression magic that makes it all possible!
