Title, Chapter and Track
Blu-ray discs and DVDs are divided into “Titles” and
“Chapters”. If the disc has more than one movie on it, each
movie would be a separate “Title”. “Chapters”, on the other
hand, are subdivisions of titles. (See Example 1.)
Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You can think of a
“Track” as one tune on an Audio CD. (See Example 2.)
Example 1: Blu-ray disc or DVD
Title 1 Title 2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2
Example 2: Audio CD
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5
