Chapter (DVD)
A chapter is normally a section of a title. For example, on a movie DVD the main
feature may be recorded as a TITLE and this title may be split into several smaller
sections called CHAPTERS to allow easy navigation to a particular point of a
movie. On some DVD discs there may be no chapters recorded.
Track (Video or audio CD)
Video or audio CDs are split into individual sections each called a track. Each
track is given a number, which allows easy access to a specific track.
