Disc-related terms
DVD±R/DVD±RW
DVD -R
and
DVD +R

recordable
DVD
drives and discs. This format allows
information to be recorded onto the
DVD
disc
only
once.
DVD +RW
and
DVD -RW
are two standards for
re-writable
media,
meaning
the
DVD
content can be
erased and re-recorded.
Single-sided
discs can hold
4.38
Gigabytes
and double-sided discs hold twice as
much. There are no dual
layer single
sided recordable
discs.
VCD
(Video CD)
A
VCD holds
up
to
74
minutes
(650
MB
disc)
or 80
minutes
(700
MB
disc)
of MPEG-1 full-motion video
along
with
quality
stereo sound.
MPEG
MPEG is an international standard for video and audio
compression.
MPEG-1 is used
in
encoding
video for
VCD and
provides
for multichannel surround sound
coding
such as
PCM,
Dolby Digital,
DTS and MPEG
audio.
MP3
MP3 is a
popular compression
format used for
digital
audio files that
yields very high
near-CD
quality.
WMA
Windows media audio file.
A
type
of
coding
/
decoding
developed by
Microsoft
Corp.
JPEG
Joint Pictures
Expert Group.

with
no
limit
on the number of colors.
PBC:
Playback
Control
(Video
CD
only)
Playback
control is available for Video CD
(VCD)
version 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows
you
to interact
with
the
system
via
menus,
search
functions,
or other
typical computer-like operations.
Moreover,
still
pictures
of
high
resolution can be

if
they
are
included
in
the disc. Video CDs not
equipped
with
PBC
(Version 1.1) operate
in
the same
way
as audio
CDs.
Title
(DVD only)
A
title is
generally
a distinct section of a
DVD
disc. For
example
the main feature could be title
1,
a
documentary describing
how the
film
was made could
be title
2,
and cast interviews could be title 3. Each
title is
assigned
a reference number
enabling you
to
locate
it
easily.
Chapter (DVD only)
A
chapter
is a
segment
of a title such as a scene
in
a
film
or one interview
in
a series. Each
chapter
is
assigned
a
chapter
number,
enabling you
to locate the
chapter you
want.
Depending
on the
disc,
chapters
may
not be recorded.
Scene
(VCD)
On a video CD
with
PBC
(playback control)
functions,
moving pictures
and still
pictures
are divided into
sections called "scenes". Each scene is
displayed
in
the menu screen and
assigned
a scene
number,
enabling you
to locate the scene
you
want.
A
scene is
composed
of one or several tracks.
Track
A
distinct element of audiovisual
information,
such as
the
picture
or sound track for a
specific language
(DVD),
or a musical
piece
on a video or audio CD.
Each track is
assigned
a track
number,
enabling you
to locate the track
you
want.
DVD
discs allow one
track of video
(with multiple angles)
and several tracks
of audio.
