Disc structure
A DVD disc is comprised of “titles”, while an Audio CD or Video
CD is comprised of “tracks”. Each title may be divided into some
“chapters”. For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each
movie, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie
may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each
song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. In
general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the
same title has continuity.
