Disc structure
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD is comprised of “tracks.” Each title may be
divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own
title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO karaoke disc, each song usually has
its own title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in
the same title has continuity.
