About DVDs
A 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 capacities depending on
how the information is stored.
DVD structure
Video DVDs are divided into tracks and chapters. A DVD may contain several tracks,
which may in turn be made up of several chapters. Tracks and chapters are each
numbered sequentially:
Title 1
Chapter1 Chapter2 Chapter3 Chapter4
Title 2
Chapter1 Chapter2 Chapter3 Chapter4
The first track of a DVD usually comprises licence details and manufacturer’s
information. The next track is usually the film itself. Other tracks may include items
such as “making of” documentaries, film 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 languages and subtitles can be selected for playing back
discs.
Camera angle
Some DVDs even allow the viewer to select multiple camera angles, provided that the
film was recorded from different camera positions.
