Disc structure

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles," while an Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD is comprised of "tracks" . Each title may
be divided into some "chapters" . For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own
title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO karaoke disc, each song usually has its
own title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the
same title has continuity.
For the MP3 CD disc structure, see page 36.
