Usually Title one will show the disc publisher and studio logos. The next Title will be the film. Other Titles contain
trailers for other films, production notes, or alternative endings for the film. There are many possibilities with Digital Versatile Disc. Chapters within the main Title allow
you to search quickly for a specific point on the disc. Many discs have a Chapter Menu sometimes called Scene
Index or Scene Menu that displays the first shot from each Chapter, which allows you to select a shot and play the disc from that point onwards. DVD discs can be PAL
