“…One commonly used strategy to achieve DC control is allowing input blocks to be mapped to more than one codeword, and the encoder then selects the codeword that yields a better DC suppression [10, p. 29]. In the Blu-ray standard, this strategy is applied through the use of parity-preserving encoders: such encoders map each input block to a codeword that has the same parity (of the number of 1s), and DC control is achieved by reserving one bit in the input block to be set to a value that minimizes the DC contents [8, §11.4.3], [9], [11], [12], [13], [16].…”
