Understanding DVD Terminology

To understand the DVD controls, you should be familiar with DVD terminology. Each DVD can hold one or more titles. Most full-length movies have only one title on the DVD, but some DVDs include several short movies, with each movie being a separate title.

Each title is divided into multiple chapters.

A chapter is a particular segment or scene in the movie. When watching a DVD movie, you have the ability to jump to the next chapter, the previous chapter, or to a specific chapter.

A single image in a movie is called a frame.
