For example on a movie DVD, the main feature movie would be one title. Each title recorded onto a disc is given a number to allow easy access. Often titles are divided into chapters (see below). 2 1. Introduction (cont) Chapter (DVD) A chapter is normally a section of a title. For example, on a movie DVD the main feature may be recorded as a TITLE and this title may be split into several smaller sections called CHAPTERS to allow easy navigation to a particular point of a movie. On some DVD discs there may be no chapters recorded. Track (Video or audio CD) Video or audio CDs are split into individual sections each called a track. Each track is given a number, which allows easy access to a specific track. 1.6 Notes on discs Disc handling precautions To keep the disc surface clean, handle the disc by its edge.
