A DVD
BOUT S
A DVD – Digital Versatile Disc – is a digital medium for
storing information. DVDs are marked with one of the sym-
bols shown here.
There are different types of DVD with different storage capacities depending on how
the information is stored.
DVD structure
Video DVDs are divided into titles and chapters. A DVD may contain several titles,
which may in turn be made up of several chapters. The titles and chapters are each
numbered sequentially.
The first title of a DVD usually comprises licence details and manufacturer's information.
The next title is usually the film itself. Other titles may include such items as "making of"
documentaries, film previews or information on the actors.
Regional codes
For reasons connected with global DVD sales strategy, a code has been developed
for DVDs that allows the recording to be played only on devices purchased in a par-
ticular region.
This code is based on a system that divides the world into six regions. As
Europe is in Zone 2, your DVD player will only play DVDs that have the
regional code 2 (or 0).
The regional code is printed on the DVD packaging (refer to the following
logo).
