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 may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each song usu- ally has its own title number and does not have chapters. In gener- al, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the same title has continuity.

Example: DVD disc

numbers. This unit only can play back DVD discs whose
