DVD Disc Structure

A DVD disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD is comprised of “tracks.” Each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD disc con- tains 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 usually has its own title number and does not have chapters.

Example: DVD Disc
				Title 1					Title 2
	Chapter 1		Chapter 2			Chapter 3		Chapter 1		Chapter 2
Example: Audio CD / Video CD / SVCD Disc
		Track 1			Track 2		Track 3			Track 4

To select 40	+10 γ+10 γ+10 γ10
