Glossary DVD-RW (page 30) Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded. A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVDRW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVDs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.
Interlace format Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image. Original (page 60) Titles actually recorded on a DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). Erasing original titles frees up disc space on DVD-RWs.
