File Structure Of Discs
DVD VIDEO
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called
“titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to
select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called
“chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can
also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are
not divided into titles and chapters.
When you record a program on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode)
disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single
chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when
recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural to stereo
due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter
marks at desired locations during playback. (
