Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 12862 was prepared by Ecma International (as ECMA-382) and was adopted, under a special “fast-
track procedure”, by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, in parallel with its
approval by national bodies of ISO and IEC.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 12862:2009), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
Ecma Technical Committee TC31 was established in 1984 for the standardization of optical disks and optical
disk cartridges (ODC). Since its establishment, TC31 has made major contributions to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 23
toward the development of International Standards for optical disks. Numerous standards have been
developed by TC31 and published by Ecma, almost all of which have also been adopted by ISO/IEC under
the fast-track procedure as International Standards. The following Ecma standards for DVD 120 mm and
80 mm have been published by Ecma and adopted by ISO/IEC JTC 1. These standards are based on original
specifications from the DVD Forum.
