File Structure Of Discs
DVD VIDEO
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called
“titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to
select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called
“chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can
also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are
not divided into titles and chapters.
When you record a programme on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode)
disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single
chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when
recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural or bilingual
to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert
chapter marks at desired locations during playback. (੬ pg. 49)
When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode)
disc
A single recording session results in a single title (a single

during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been
finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks
are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.
