A
SHORT GLOSSARY OF
DVD
TERMINOLOGY
Angles When making a DVD, the studio can incorporate various
camera angles which you can select by using the ANGLE button on
the remote. Note that not all DVDs contain multiple camera angles.
Author Menu The Author menu is the menu on a disc that allows
you to change settings for that disc. We call it the "Author" menu
because its features are "authored" by the maker of the disc, and may
vary from disc to disc.
Chapter Each Title on a DVD can be divided into chapters (similar to
tracks on an audio CD).
Dolby Digital This format is used when 5.l-channel audio signals
are recorded onto the digital track of film. It provides five separate
(discrete) channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common
subwoofer.
If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the
full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full
5.1 -channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the
Dolby Surround mark.
Title A DVD may contain several different titles; for example, if a
disc contains four different movies, each might be considered a title
(and each may have several Chapters within it).
Subtitling Because so much information can be stored on a DVD,
many discs may contain foreign language subtitles.
