recalled any time during playback to perform
settings according to the current software,
including the audio switching between Dolby
Digital and PCM, switching of language used in
the subtitles and spoken voice.

Title number (DVD)

recorded in a DVD. It usually corresponds to a
single movie of video software or an album
(sometimes a piece of music) of music software.

referred to as the title numbers.

recorded in a DVD. A title is composed of several
chapters. The numbers assigned to individual
chapters are referred to as the chapter numbers.

With most of music CDs, a track is assigned to a

sometimes impossible with some VCDs.

P.B.C.: Play-Back Control (VCD)

When a VIDEO CD carries "Play Back Control
capable" or similar message on the disc or jacket,
desired scenes and information can be played
back in an interactive manner using a hierarchical
