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.

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
