Data hierarchy

DVD VIDEO/DVD VR

A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title may be divided into “chapters”.

A DVD VR consists of “original programs” or “play lists” and each original program/play list may be divided into “chapters”.

Title 1/Original program 1/

 

Title 2/Original

Play list 1

program 2/Play list

VCD/SVCD/CD

A VCD/SVCD/CD consists of “tracks”.

In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be further divided by indexes.)

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/ASF/DivX/MPEG1/ MPEG2 files

Audio, still pictures and video are recorded as tracks/files on a disc or a USB device. Tracks/files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.

This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of files and manages folders by “groups”.

Handling discs

Do not use a commercially-available non- standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or credit card, etc.), because it may damage the system.

Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it may damage the system.

Do not bend the disc.

Cleaning discs

Signal surface

Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth.

Scratches concentrated on a certain part cause sound dropout.

Be sure not to use thinners, benzenes, cleaners for analog records, or other chemical agents.

This system can recognize up to 4 000 tracks/files on a disc. Also, the system can recognize up to 999 tracks/files per group and up to 99 groups on a disc. Since the system ignores the tracks/files with numbers exceeding 999 and the groups with numbers exceeding 99, these cannot be played back.

If there are any type of files other than MP3/WMA/ WAV/JPEG/ASF/DivX/MPEG1/MPEG2 files on a disc, those files are also counted in the total number of files.
