File Structure Of Discs
DVD VIDEO
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called
A
titles
B
. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to
select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called
A
chapters
B
. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can
also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are
not divided into titles and chapters.
When you record a program on a DVD-RAM/R/RW (VR mode)
disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single
chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when
recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural to stereo
due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter
marks at desired locations during playback. (
When you record a program on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode)
disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single
chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when
recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks,
etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations
during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been
finalized, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks
are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.
●
In Video mode, even before finalizing, it is impossible to perform
editing operations other than changing the disc name and/or title
names and deleting programs and/or titles.
●
After finalizing, it is impossible to perform editing operations.
Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD
Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each
containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For
example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video CD/
SVCD discs.
However, some discs are not divided into tracks.
