A Short Glossary of DVD
Terminology

Angles

When making a DVD, the studio can incorporate

various camera angles which you can select by using the
ANGLE button on the remote. Note that not all DVDs contain
multiple camera angles.

Author Menu

The Author menu is the menu on a disc that

allows you to change settings for that disc. We call it the
“author” menu because its features are “authored” by the
maker of the disc, and may vary from disc to disc.

Chapter

Each

Title on a DVD can be divided into chapters

(similar to tracks on an audio CD).

Dolby Digital*

If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround

decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the
same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround
mark.

Title

A DVD may contain several different titles, for example

if a disc contains four different movies, each might be
considered a title (and each may have several

Chapters within

it).

Subtitling

Because so much information can be stored on a

DVD, many discs may contain foreign language subtitles.

play mode (or slow speed search in pause mode).
