Progressive scan (NTSC) (page 22)

Compared to standard interlace mode that alternatively shows every other line of an image to create one frame, progressive scan shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while interlace mode can show 30 frames per second, progressive scan can show 60. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper.

Title (page 19)

The longest section of a movie or a music piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a music piece on audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.

Video material (NTSC) (page 22)

DVD material can be divided into two types: video based material and film based material. Video based material is recorded at 30 frames (60 fields) per second, and is normally used for TV programs and cartoons. Film based material is recorded at 24 video images per second, and is used for most movies. Some DVDs contain both video based and film based material.
