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 program 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. (

When you record a program on a DVD-R/RW (Video 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 due to commercial
breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired
locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has
been finalized, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter
marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5
minutes.

● In Video mode, even before finalizing, it is impossible to

perform editing operations other than changing the disc name
and/or title names and deleting programs and/or titles.

● After finalizing, it is impossible to perform editing operations.

Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD

Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each
containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For
example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video
CD/SVCD discs.
However, some discs are not divided into tracks.
