Definition of terms

Chapter number

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been obtained by means of digital signals. Incorporation a new video compression technology

(MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded).

DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.

Playback control (PBC)

This is only used on a Video CD (version 2.0). The scenes or information to be viewed (or listened to) can be selected interactively with the TV monitor by looking at the menu show on the TV monitor.

Subtitles

This is the appearance of the dialogue at the bottom of the screen which are prerecorded on some DVD discs.

Time indication

This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of the disc or the title. It can be used to find a specific scene quickly.

(It may not work with some discs.)

Title number

These numbers are recorded on a DVD discs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Video CD

This contains recordings of pictures and sound whose quality is on a par with that of videotape. This player also supports Video CDs with playback control (version 2.0).
