DVD Features
DVD discs offer many advantages over VHS
tapes and VCD video discs, which include:
Parental control
Discs with parental control can be restricted so
that discs that are only suitable for the viewers
can be viewed.
Please note: DVD discs must have parental
ratings recorded onto the disc for this to work.
Multi-language support
DVD discs may have recorded on them up to:
■8 different audio languages
■8 different subtitle languages
■6 different OSD (on screen display) languages
Multiple angles for the same scene
Some DVD discs are recorded with scenes that
are recorded from multiple angles. On these
discs the user can press a button to cycle
through the available angles.
Please note: This is disc dependant, not all DVD
discs utilise this feature.
Glossary of disc terms
Title (DVD)
The longest sections of a picture or a music
piece on a DVD. 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).
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.
