DVD Jargon

Hi I'm new here and I'm having a hard time understanding some of the acronyms or terms...could you explain the following to me?

criterion
oop
superbits
dts
oar
CE


I'm sure there's more so maybe you can add your own and educate me.

Thank you.

Is OAR the dimensions that a program was filmed in or the dimensions that the director intended it to be shown in?
