DVD Disc Structure
A DVD 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 disc con-
tains some movies, each movie may have its
own title number, and each movie may be
divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke
disc, each song usually has its own title number
and does not have chapters.
Example: DVD Disc
Title 1
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2
Example: Audio CD / Video CD / SVCD Disc
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3
