Some DVDs feature scenes shot from multiple angles,
letting you choose your viewing angle as desired.

Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multiple lan-
guages. Dialog in up to 8 languages can be recorded on

Multi-session is a recording method that allows addi-
tional data to be recorded later. When recording data on
a CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW, etc., all data from begin-

session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions
in one disc.
Multi-subtitle

gle DVD, letting you choose as desired.
