You can improve a disc’s playback performance by keeping related elements together
whenever possible. For example, you should place the scripts used with a specific track
in the same VTS as the track.

Because menus often link to multiple tracks or slideshows, you will not be able to keep
them together with everything they can jump to. However, you can minimize the time
a DVD player spends jumping from the menu to the video manager files by keeping the
menus in the first VTS, which is physically located close to the video manager files.

See

Standard SD DVD Video Zone Files
