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.
