Differences in Disc Composition
DVD
All discs are divided up into smaller, more manageable
sections so that you can find specific content more easily.
DVD discs are divided into one or more titles. Each title may
be further divided into several chapters. Occassionally, a
chapter may contain index points, effectively dividing the
chapter up into several parts, too.
Video CD/CD
Video CDs and CDs are divided into a number of tracks. In
rare cases, a track may contain a number of index points,
effectively dividing the track up into several parts.
MP3
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file
format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3” or
“.MP3”. Folders that contain MP3 files are automatically
numbered F_001, F_002, etc. Tracks within folders are
automatically numbered T_001, T_002, etc.
