About DVDs
The DVD – Digital Versatile Disc – is a digital
medium for storing information. DVDs are
marked with one of the symbols shown here.
Different types of DVD are available with different storage capaci-
ties depending on how the information is stored.
DVD structure
Video DVDs are divided into titles and chapters. A DVD can have
several
titles, which in turn may be made up of several chapters. Titles
and chapters are each numbered sequentially
The fi rst title of a DVD usually comprises licence details and man-
ufacturer’s information. The next title is usually the fi lm itself.
Other titles may include items such as “making of” documenta-
ries, fi lm previews or information on the actors.
Languages and subtitles
Up to eight languages and subtitles in as many as 32 different
languages can be stored on DVDs. Any combination of languag-
es and subtitles can be selected for playback.
