About Media Types
Title, Chapter and Track
• Blu-ray discs and DVDs are divided into "Titles"
and "Chapters". If the disc has more than one
movie on it, each movie would be a separate
"Title". "Chapters", on the other hand, are
subdivisions of titles. (See Example 1.)
• Audio CDs are divided into "Tracks". You can think
of a "Track" as one tune on an Audio CD. (See
Example 2.)
