About Disc Contents

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
