Titles

When two or more movies are recorded on a DVD disc,

the disc is divided into two or more sections. Each

section is called a ‘TITLE’. For example, trailers and

documentaries would be separate ‘TITLES’ to the

featured movie on the disc.

Chapters

A title can be subdivided into many parts. Each part of a

title is called a ‘CHAPTER’.

Tracks

As a DVD is divided into ‘TITLES’ an audio CD is

divided into ‘TRACKS’. Tracks are the individual songs

on an audio CD.
