the majority of DVD players on the market.
Unlike a DVD+RW disc, a DVD+R (write-once DVD)
can only be written to once. If it is not finalised
after a recording, further recordings can be added to
it. Old recordings can be deleted but they can no
longer be overwritten. The deleted recordings
(titles) are marked 'deleted title'.
Disc-related Terms
Title (DVD only)
The main film, accompanying feature content, or
music album. Each title is assigned a title reference
number enabling you to locate it easily.
Before a DVD+R can be played in a DVD player, it
must be finalised in the DVB-T VCR/DVD Recorder.
Once this process is complete, no further recordings
can be added.
Chapter (DVD only)
Sections of a movie or a musical piece that are
smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or
several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a
number to enable you to easily locate the chapter
you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not
be labeled.
