General information
About DVDs
A DVD – Digital Versatile Disc – is a digital medium for storing information.
DVDs are marked with one of the symbols shown here.
There are different types of DVD with different storage capacities depending
on how the information is stored.
DVD structure
Video DVDs are divided into titles and chapters. A DVD may contain several titles, which may in turn be
made up of several chapters. The titles and chapters are each numbered sequentially:
The first title of a DVD usually comprises licence details and manufacturer's information. The next title is
often the film itself. The next title is usually the film itself. Other titles may include such items 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.
Regional codes
For reasons connected with global DVD sales strategy, a code has been
developed for DVDs that allows the recording to be played only on devices
purchased in a particular region.
This code is based on a system that divides the world into six regions. As
Europe is in Zone 2, your DVD player will only play DVDs that have the
regional code 2. As Europe is in Zone 2, your DVD player will only play
DVDs that have the regional code 2.
Apart from DVDs with the regional code 2 the unit will only play DVDs with
the regional code 0 (suitable for any DVD player).
If you have any difficulty when playing a particular DVD, check that it has
the regional code 2 or 0.
