Airdrie, North Lanarkshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/18/2010 -- Easyreplication.co.uk launches its DVD Replication services and Branded USB Sticks for this New Year 2010. DVD-Video is a multimedia publishing format that people use for interactive playback of high-quality video, audio, and graphics content. The DVD-Video format allows consumers to play back long-form content such as motion pictures and interactive content such as games, all with higher video and audio quality than can be had from VHS, SVHS, CD-I, or Laserdisc playback systems. DVD-Video delivers full-screen, full- motion video at a resolution of 720 x 480 pixels per frame and a frame rate of 30 frames per second (fps) for NTSC video, or 720 x 576 pixels per frame and a frame rate of 25 fps for PAL video.
The DVD-Video format also supports high-quality audio using Dolby Digital audio, DTS audio, linear PCM audio, or MPEG-1 Layer II audio. Both Dolby Digital and DTS support surround sound. Up to eight different audio tracks, all synchronized to the digital video stream, can be included on a DVD-Video disc.
Flash Drives, memory flashes, disks or cards are different names for the same kind of data storage devices that allow the safe, easy and quick transfer and transport of data between various USB appliances, usually computers or hard drives. Branded USB sticks require no power supply to support their memory and they are totally re-writable. They match any USB port in a computer and there is no need for device restarting in order to access the files. The name of USB thumb drives comes from the small size of the storage devices that are usually not larger than a human thumb.
USB sticks are not compatible with Windows 98 operating system, which is considered a major inconvenience for many users who still depend on this old Microsoft platform. Besides the good parts, there are some security concerns related to the use of USB thumb drives. They can easily get infected with viruses and all sorts of malware because there is no control for the entry of such malicious programs on the storage devices if the computer they access is infected. Then, lots of information can be uploaded on them without a system administrator noticing it. Reversal processes are nevertheless possible too.
