Structure of disc contents
Normally, DVD video discs are divided into titles, and the
titles are subdivided into chapters.
VIDEO CDs/audio CDs are divided into tracks.
Title
:
Divided contents of a DVD video disc.
Roughly corresponds to a story title in short
stories.
Chapter
: Divided contents of a title. This corresponds
to a chapter in a story.
Track
:
Divided contents of a VIDEO CD or an audio
CD.
Each title, chapter, or track is assigned a number, which
is called “title number”, “chapter number”, or “track
number” respectively.
Some discs may not have these numbers.
When you record on the HDD or a DVD-RAM disc, one
recording will always equal one title. You can divide a title
into several chapters by marking borders in it to facilitate
scene search.
