Help! DVD terms explained?

Does anyone know of a good website/link that gives good explanations for terms used in rating the visual quality of DVDs? I'm looking for help in understanding terms like pixelation, edge pixelation, moire, noise, aliasing, saturation, etc. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

As strange as it may sound the Fox Demo Disc 2 (which came free with Ice Age at Best Buy), if you happen to have it, has a lot of excellent text about just the sorts of things you are looking for. Plus it gives a good pro-widescreen segment as well.
